Job Description:
Join the dynamic team of Dr. Joo-Hyeon Lee (https://www.mskcc.org/research/ski/labs/joo-hyeon-lee) at the Sloan Kettering Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and contribute to ground-breaking research in tissue regeneration and disease development. We are looking for a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to work on an innovative, multi-disciplinary, and collaborative project focused on understanding the mechanisms that confer cell fate competency during tissue regeneration, and their significance in disease development. Successful candidates will benefit from cutting-edge experimental model systems, including in vivo novel lineage tracing mouse models, ex vivo mouse and patient-derived human lung organoids, single cell multi-omics, high-resolution imaging platforms, and biophysical clonal modeling. Through these diverse approaches, you will unravel the intricate dynamics of cell fates and states during regeneration and disease initiation (Ref: Lee et al. Cell 2017; Ombrato et al. Nature 2019; Choi et al. Cell Stem Cell 2020; Youk et al. Cell Stem Cell 2020; Yum et al. Nature 2021; Choi et al. Nature Cell Biol. 2021; Jeon et al. EMBO J. 2022).

The ideal candidate should have:

PhD/MD in a Bioscience-related subject

Enthusiasm for collaborative and interdisciplinary research, as well as a keen interest in leveraging innovative technologies.
