A postdoc/staff scientist position is available immediately in the laboratory of Xinping Zhang at the Center for Musculoskeletal Research in the University of Rochester. The post-doc/staff scientist will participate in a newly funded RO1 research program that centers on cellular and molecular mechanisms that orchestrate osteogenesis and angiogenesis during repair and regeneration. The project will utilize molecular, genetic and intravital imaging techniques to study bone tissue vascularization. The research program integrates bone tissue engineering, vascular biology, and skeletal biology with opportunities to work in a multidisciplinary research team. The successful candidate will benefit from center-wide training and mentoring programs that help junior investigators with independent research project development, grant writing and lab management etc.
