BOSTON TRUST WALDEN COMPANY
Postdoctoral Fellow - Translational Neuroengineering and Neuroscience Laboratory
BOSTON TRUST WALDEN COMPANY, Baltimore, Maryland, United States, 21276
Job Description
The University of Maryland, Baltimore Department of Neurosurgery
is seeking talented Postdoctoral Fellows in Regenerative Medicine and Neuroscience in the Translational Neuroengineering and Neuroscience Laboratory led by Prof. Xiaofeng Jia. The department aims to excel and innovate in clinical practice, science, and neurosurgery education. We seek to create a platform and culture wherein all team members contribute to this mission and reach their full capacity for impact and fulfillment. Critical values that align with our success: Patients First Always Do the Right Thing Leave It Better Than You Found It Drive at Mastery Scope of Role
We are looking for a highly motivated, career-oriented research individual with an excellent publication record, a Ph.D. in neuroscience, cell biology, or a related field, and hands‑on experience in translational animal models. Proven research ability in two or more of the following areas is desirable: Neuroscience research in ischemic brain injury, stroke, or peripheral nerve injury Stem cell or extracellular vehicle or exosome therapy Genetic modification of animal models, in vivo electrophysiology We offer multifaceted scientific projects, a place in a committed team, and strong scientific collaborations. Our record of helping trainees build an excellent publication record is outstanding. Lab Interests
1) Brain recovery after cardiac arrest with stem cell therapy, extracellular vehicle therapy, and underlying mechanisms; 2) Glycol‑engineered neural stem cells to improve brain outcome after cardiac arrest; 3) Stem cell surface modification to promote nerve regeneration after peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). The brain projects use in vitro and in vivo models to investigate electrophysiological and cellular mechanisms of brain injury after cardiac arrest with therapeutic interventions such as stem cell therapy. In the PNI project, we will enhance stem cell adhesion and differentiation in vitro and improve nerve regeneration with stem cells or extracellular vehicles after nerve repair to explore underlying therapeutic mechanisms. Our primary goals are to develop new strategies for brain and/or peripheral nerve injury, improve neural regeneration, and elucidate the underlying therapeutic cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Theranostics 2018; 8(16):4429-4446 Qualifications
We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package. The position is available with 2 RO1 NIH funding for immediate occupancy for a 1-3 year appointment, contingent on background experience and performance. Interested individuals should submit a detailed CV, a brief statement including a research plan, interests and skills, the names of three references, and a short description of their doctoral training and future research goals to Prof. Xiaofeng Jia, MD, Ph.D., FCCM, Department of Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Anatomy Neurobiology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore.
