Postdoctoral Position to Study Bone Tissue Vascularization at University of Rochester
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Center for Musculoskeletal Research at the University of Rochester School of Medicine. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join NIH-funded research programs to study bone tissue vascularization during repair and regeneration. The research program integrates bone tissue engineering, vascular biology, and skeletal biology with an emphasis on molecular and cellular control of bone specialized blood vessel formation during repair and regeneration. The successful candidate will work with a team of scientists to study bone progenitor cell interaction with angiogenic cells utilizing state-of-the-art genetic, imaging and engineering approaches to explore and establish novel therapeutics. The candidate will have the opportunity to learn cutting-edge technologies such as multiphoton microscopy, light sheet microscopy, spatial transcriptomics, and 3D printing to understand molecular control of periosteum-mediated healing and mechanisms of bone graft repair and reconstruction.
