Details of Research Project: 

This is an interdisciplinary role, ideal for candidates with expertise in bioengineering, imaging technology development, stem cell biology, or computational biology. Research projects will be tailored to the applicant’s background and may include, but not limited to:

1. Developing and applying advanced spatial imaging omics to study stem cell and neuronal plasticity at single-cell resolution.

2. Engineering novel tools to integrate live-cell or biomolecular imaging with spatial omics.

3. Investigating stem cell fate decisions and exploring their regenerative potential in aging and disease models.

Technical Duties: (include any protocols)

Performing spatial omics protocols on cell culture and tissue sections, sequencing library preparation, standard molecular biology and biochemistry methodologies, tissue culture techniques, genome editing.

Educational and other Requirements for the position: 

The ideal candidate will have an MD and/or Ph.D. in bioengineering, biophysics, stem cell biology, or a related field. To apply, please email your CV, a short paragraph of your research interests and the names and contact information for two or three references to to cheeneuong.ang@mssm.edu

Experience Required: 

Successful candidates would have experiences with tissue culture, molecular biology techniques and bioinformatics. Experiences with optics, single-cell technologies, or machine learning/AI is highly desirable.

Goals/Outcomes of the Research Project: 

Successful development of imaging and stem cell tools and applying them to understand the molecular mechanism of cellular plasticity
