Job Opportunities

Faculty Positions

The newly established Yale Stem Cell Center invites applications for faculty positions at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor. Rank and tenure will be commensurate with experience. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Each successful candidate will be expected to develop a vigorous, externally funded research program on fundamental questions related to the biology of embryonic or adult stem cells. Investigators will join a vibrant stem cell research community at Yale with over 40 labs working on various aspects of stem cell biology and medicine and will have opportunities to compete for Connecticut State funding for stem cell research, including research on non-federally approved human embryonic stem cell lines. Investigators will also contribute to teaching graduate and/or medical students as well as shaping stem cell research at Yale.

Applicants should mail a three-page research statement and CV, and arrange to have three reference letters sent to:

Haifan Lin, Ph.D., c/o Kristin Dugan
Yale Stem Cell Center, Yale University School of Medicine
P.O. Box 208073
New Haven, CT 06520-8073

Application deadline is December 15, 2007.
Follow-up inquiries should be sent to: kristin.dugan@yale.edu

 

Postdoctoral Position

A research position is open at the postdoctoral level in the area of stem cell biology. A wide variety of projects are available to define mechanisms of cell fate determination in mouse and human embryonic stem cells using both traditional and genomic approaches. Applicants should have training and experience in molecular biology and mammalian cell culture techniques.

Essential Qualifications:

The successful candidate must have a doctoral degree in molecular biology or a related field. Experience in standard tissue culture and molecular biology is required. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the ability to work independently or in collaboration are needed. Willingness to learn new techniques is essential.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience in stem cell biology, RNAi, ChIP, FACS analyses and working knowledge of bioinformatic approaches to data analysis are desirable.

Interested candidates should submit their CV including names and contact information for three references and a short description of their doctoral training and future research goals.
