比利时鲁汶大学2022年招聘博士后职位（人多能干细胞的肌源性分化）

天主教鲁汶大学是比利时最大的大学，1425年由教皇马蒂诺五世（马丁五世）下令建立，是现存最古老的天主教大学，同时也是西欧“低地国家”最古老大学。1968年起分为两座大学——荷语鲁汶大学和法语鲁汶大学。

Postdoc Position in Myogenic Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells In

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

Description

The Yilmaz laboratory has an overarching aim of enhancing the regenerative capacity of human skeletal muscle and finding treatments for a vast array of genetic muscle disorders and muscle wasting caused by aging and several other degenerative conditions. Towards this aim, we are interested in understanding how skeletal muscle cell identity is established in human and which gene networks govern cell fate changes giving rise to muscle cells. The Yilmaz Laboratory of Regenerative Muscle Biology is located at the Stem Cell and Developmental Biology Unit of the Department of Development and Regeneration at KU Leuven. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to join our newly established laboratory to work on myogenic differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in health and disease.

Responsibilities

In this project, we will investigate the gene circuits that regulate the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into skeletal muscle progenitors. The successful candidate will have the chance to use unique experimental tools based on our recent work (Yilmaz et al. Nature Cell Biology 2018, Yilmaz et al. Cell Stem Cell 2019, Yilmaz et al. Cell Stem Cell 2020). We will utilize a vast array of molecular biology techniques, such as transcriptomic analyses and gene editing by CRISPR/Cas9 technology, together with extensive mammalian cell culture techniques and bioinformatics tools. These experimental setups will also be used to study common genetic disorders of skeletal muscle. The candidates will be highly encouraged and supported to apply for the prestigious FWO fellowship.

Profile

Familiar with mammalian stem cell and developmental biology, both on technical and conceptual levels

Prior experience in or serious commitment to learn bioinformatics skills such as large-scale next-generation sequencing (NGS) data analysis

Highly motivated and enthusiastic about stem cell biology and a team player

Fluent in written and spoken English

Offer

A highly motivated, energetic, and newly established research group within a collaborative department and with connections to a strong network of stem cell scientists.

Access to cutting-edge facilities and technologies.

Excellent training and networking possibilities through local and international collaborations, as well as by active support to participate in conferences.

Training at the University of Leuven, which is listed among the top 50 universities in the world and was also chosen as the most innovative university in Europe.

A competitive salary and benefits by the University of Leuven for 1 year with possibility of extension up to 3 years.

The position is immediately available.
