The Morrow Laboratory at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York city is recruiting postdoctoral fellows with interest in mouse cardiac development. We are seeking applicants who wish to pursue research specifically in the following areas: (1) Mouse embryo morphogenesis; (2) Mouse genetics and gene regulation; (3) Single cell RNA-sequencing with bioinformatic analysis; (4) Cardiac development or disease. We are interested in applicants with strong interest in using the mouse as a model for human genetic diseases  

 

Research focus: Our lab investigates cell fate progression of cardiac progenitor cells in mouse models of human 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. The chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a genetic disorder occurring in 1/4000 live births. Most patients have congenital heart disease as well as other medical conditions. We are determining single-cell based molecular mechanisms that are disrupted in mouse models of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in early staged mouse embryos. 

 

Lab expertise: The expertise needed includes being able to perform extensive mouse genetic crosses, microdissection of regions containing progenitor cells in the hearts in mouse embryos, immunofluorescence on tissue sections from staged mouse embryos, as well as single cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing with data analysis.

$65,000 - $72,000 Annual Salary

Application Requirements:

 

1.    Ph.D. or M.D. or equivalent degree, and a record of first author publications from prior training.

2.    Prior experience in mouse genetics and molecular biology.

 

 

Salary: 65K-72K/year

 

To apply: Please email your CV and a short cover letter summarizing your experience or interest in our lab, along with the contact information of two references to bernice.morrow@einsteinmed.edu addressed to Bernice Morrow Ph.D., Professor of Genetics, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, NY

Research environment for postdoctoral fellows: At the Albert Einstein College of Medicine ( https://einsteinmed.edu/) we provide a highly interactive and stimulating academic environment for scientists in training. The prospective recruit will join our group which consists of postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and technologists. Lab members will participate and benefit from programs within the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine, the Department of Genetics, Einstein Cancer Center and throughout the school. These include weekly journal clubs, work-in-progress seminars, invited talks, workshops as well as social and professional events organized by the Einstein Postdoc office.

 

Lab Location: We are located in a pleasant residential area in the northeast corner of the Bronx, NY with an easy commute to Manhattan and the suburbs of Westchester County. We offer competitive salary and benefit packages with optional postdoctoral housing on campus.
