JOB DESCRIPTION: Postdoctoral Fellow (Zhao Lab)

DEPARTMENT/SERVICE: Research Institute-Basic Science Research

START DATE: 07/01/2025

About The Research Institute

The HSS Research Institute is dedicated to research on identifying mechanisms underlying bone biology and rheumatic conditions, and developing effective approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. With a focus on tissue repair, improving surgical outcomes, autoimmunity and inflammation, genomics, new treatments, and precision medicine, the impact of our discoveries determine future directions of musculoskeletal research to best improve clinical outcomes, while serving the community in an environment that aspires to scientific excellence.

Introduction

Many skeletal diseases are largely associated with or caused by inflammation. However, the underlying mechanisms are far from understood. Our lab studies osteoimmunology, an interdisciplinary field linking bone biology and the immune system, focusing on inflammatory regulation of gene expression and signaling in macrophage differentiation to osteoclasts (see the model of a new molecular regulatory network we recently identified), adipogenesis, skeletal damage and repair involved in disease (such as osteoporosis and inflammatory arthritis).

Responsibilities

Ongoing studies include identification, function and regulation of bone marrow skeletal stem/progenitors, inflammatory regulation of macrophage polarization and differentiation into osteoclasts in osteoimmunology field.

Skills Required

Expertise in cellular and molecular techniques, such as Cloning, ChIP, IP, FACS, confocal microscopy and histology/immunofluorescence staining, as well as genetic mutant mouse breeding are required. Candidates with experience and interest in bioinformatics analysis, such as RNAseq analysis and/or analysis of scRNAseq using Seurat, are preferred. High level of motivation, responsibility and independence are expected.

Qualifications

The qualified candidate must have a recent Ph.D. and/or M.D. in molecular and cellular biology, immunology, bone biology or a related field and have at least one first author article.
