Postdoctoral Associate : West Lafayette, IN, USA


Purdue University: job description

A postdoctoral research associate position is immediately available in a multidisciplinary research effort focusing on adult stem cells and their applications in regenerative medicine. One of the major foci of our dynamic research team is to investigate the molecular signals both from the extracellular matrix and within the stem cells that regulate cell fate choice, for example between self-renewal and differentiation, using satellite cells in the skeletal muscle as a model.


Applicants must have a Ph. D. or equivalent degree in a life science-related field with an established background in (mouse) genetics, molecular biology and cell culture. Experience with protein-protein interaction, protein-DNAinteraction, viral-based construct design for gene overexpression and knockdown, and construction of bicistronic constructs for tracing gene expression is a plus.

Salary will be commensurate with experience. As a Purdue University employee, you will be eligible for University benefits including medical and dental plans, term life insurance coverage and a long-term disability plan.

To apply, please send a cover letter describing research background and interests, plus Curriculum Vitae and the contact information of 3 professional references to:
