Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Cardiovascular Stem Cell Biology

University of Illinois at Chicago

A postdoctoral position is available in the newly opened laboratory of Dr. Sang-Ging Ong in the Department of Pharmacology an d the Center for Stem Cell an d Regenerative Medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Using mouse models, patients’ samples, an d hiPSC models, the Ong lab seeks to understand the molecular and biological mechanisms underlying various cardiovascular diseases through cellular, genetic, an d biochemical approaches. We are particularly interested in cardiometabolic diseases with a focus on mitochondrial biology. Additional research areas include cardioprotection strategies against ischemic damage including cell & gene therapy, microRNAs, an d exosomes. More details can be found here: https://www.onglab.org/

Qualifications: Recent Ｏr upcoming PhD or MD/PhD degree an d a strong record of peer-reviewed publications with at least one first-author manuscript （IF>5）, is essential. Ideal candidates should have experience working in two Ｏr more of the following areas: 1） stem cell biology, 2） cardiovascular research, 3） transcriptomics/proteomics/metabolomics, 4） cellular metabolism, 5） animal models of cardiac disease, 6） genome editing techniques, an d 7） epigenetics/RNA biology.

Interested candidates should submit a CV with the names of three referees to Dr. Sang-Ging Ong （sangging@uic.edu）. The position is open immediately until filled.
