NCATS, a major research component of the NIH, seeks applications from qualified candidates with expertise in developmental biology and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to fill stem cell scientist and postdoctoral positions in the Stem Cell Translation Laboratory (SCTL) within the Chemical Genomics Branch of the center’s Division of Preclinical Innovation. The SCTL focuses on translating human pluripotent stem cells, such as iPSCs, into clinical applications and drug discovery.
About the position
The selected candidates will join a multidisciplinary team of innovative scientists with expertise in assay development, high-throughput and high-content screening, compound management, automation engineering, bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry and various -omics technologies. They will work in a highly creative environment, focusing on important aspects of human pluripotency and cellular differentiation using cutting-edge technologies (e.g., single-cell analysis, deep sequencing, robotic cell culture, high-throughput electrophysiology, genome editing). They will keep accurate and complete records of all scientific experiments according to established procedures and ensure that these records and raw data are properly retained. They also will draft technical reports, manuscripts and patent applications and present work internally and externally to consultants and collaborators as needed.
