Postdoctoral position at University of Tsukuba, Japan in the field of Stem cell aging project

The lab is looking for a talented postdoc fellow to work on stem cell aging project under supervision of Dr. Aiko Sada, Dr. Hiromi Yanagisawa at TARA center, University of Tsukuba, Japan.

Overview

Our recent study proposed the co-existence of two distinct stem cell populations – slow-cycling and fast-dividing stem cells – in the mouse skin epidermis; however, it remains unknown how aging affects these stem cell populations and how it contributes to age-associated tissue dysfunction. The project will focus on understanding the cellular and molecular basis of stem cell aging in skin with implications for future treatments of age-related disorders. The candidate will perform laboratory experiments, including generating mouse mutants, RNA sequencing, stem cell isolation, cell culture and lineage tracing, and write manuscripts. This project is funded by AMED (Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development).

Tsukuba Advanced Research Alliance (TARA center) is a cutting edge, research institute in the University of Tsukuba, focuses on diverse fields of biomedical researches, aging, epigenetics, immunology, reproduction, stem cells and cardiovascular diseases.

Qualifications / Requirements:

  1. Ph.D or M.D./Ph.D (or equivalent) in biology or related field.
    2. Stem cells, aging, dermatology or developmental biology are particularly encouraged to apply.
    3. Prior experience with laboratory mice is preferred.
    4. Candidates should be enthusiastic scientists, self-motivated, independent thinkers.

Procedure of Application:

Eligible interested candidates should email a CV with a list of publications, a brief statement including a description of their doctoral training, research plan, interests and skills, and the names of at least two references to Dr. Aiko Sada (aisada@tara.tsukuba.ac.jp).
