POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH SCHOLAR - JONES LAB

The Jones lab is seeking a highly-motivated and enthusiastic Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. scientist to join our team as a postdoctoral research scholar. We investigate the origins of lung disease, with a particular focus in stem cell biology and tissue regeneration. Our approach is to use cutting-edge tools such as single cell genomics, epigenomics, high-resolution microscopy, novel transgenic mouse models, 3D organoid in vitro models, and customized bioinformatics pipelines to pursue our research questions.

The Jones lab is enthusiastic to mentor and train all members of the laboratory. We develop individual training approaches to maximize the productivity and efficiency of your time in the laboratory. You will be provided with hands-on training in the lab, while being given space and freedom to develop your individual "niche". Our goal is to provide you with the skillsets, resources, and mentorship to get you to the next stage of your career.

We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including stem cell biology, biomedical engineering, cellular/molecular biology, bioinformatics, physiology, and similar fields.
