德国欧洲分子生物学实验室（EMBL）细胞生物学、生物信息学、数字建模等方向博士后
Postdoctoral Fellow
European Molecular Biology Laboratory
Description
Postdoctoral Fellow Location: Heidelberg, Germany
Staff Category: Postdoctoral Fellow Contract Duration: 2 years Grading: Stipend Closing Date: 1 January 2022 Reference Number: HD02076
The Watt group at EMBL Heidelberg is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow. The group is exploring cell fate decisions in adult mammalian skin, using cell culture and mouse models. The postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to study the dynamics of exit from the epidermal stem cell compartment via live cell imaging of FRET sensors in vivo (in mice) and in reconstituted human epidermis in culture. The goal of the work is to integrate single cell RNA sequencing datasets with wet lab experiments to gain new mechanistic insights into tissue homeostasis and repair.
