Dr. Kun-Che Chang’s laboratory is seeking a highly motivated full-time
postdoctoral associate at the Department of Ophthalmology, University of
Pittsburgh. The Chang Lab studies the regulatory mechanisms of retinal
differentiation and molecular mechanisms that lead to blindness, especially
in glaucoma. The Chang Lab aims to utilize human stem cell and genetic
therapies to treat retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss and optic neuropathies.
In particular, we use human retinal organoids to study retinal development
and use rodent model to investigate axon regeneration. We further utilize
single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the molecular regulation in retinal
organoid and rodent retina. Our research is aim to restore vision loss,
especially caused by glaucoma and optic neuropathy. I will investigate
the regulatory mechanism of RGC differentiation and apply the findings
to gene and stem cell therapies.
The successful postdoc will be involved in an ongoing study of stem cell and
animal studies. Qualified candidates are welcome to submit a PDF file
including a cover letter describing research interest, strength and previous
accomplishments (1 page), CV and contacts of at least two references to Dr.
Chang ([email protected]).
Salary:
$48,000/yr or more based on experience plus Fringe benefits including
health, dental and vision insurances.
Qualifications of the candidate:
Ph.D. and/or M.D./Ph.D. in stem cell biology, neuroscience, developmental
biology or relevant field of biomedical sciences, or M.D. of Ophthalmology.
At least one first-author publication in one of the following fields:
ophthalmology/vision science, developmental biology, stem cell biology.
