Job description

Position Details
Title Postdoctoral Fellow in Stem Biology (Otolaryngology Dept) Specific Title Appointment Type Postdoctoral Fellow Department IUSM - Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Campus IU School of Medicine Indianapolis Position Summary
POST-DOCTORAL POSITION IN STEM BIOLOGY in the Department of Otolaryngology-HNS
We are looking for a motivated and creative post-doctoral fellow to join the 3D Stem Cell Biology Research Lab (https://www.hashinolab.com) and study normal and pathological development of the human inner ear using stem cell-derived organoids as a model system (Koehler et al., Nature 2013;  Koehler et al., Nature Biotechnology 2017; Nie et al., Nature Communications 2022; Moore et al., Cell Stem Cell 2023). We recently developed a human cochlear organoid system that recapitulates aspects of outer and inner hair cell development. Using this novel model system, we aim at elucidating the mechanisms underlying hair cell differentiation and identifying means to promote hair cell regeneration in the human cochlea. We are also developing a human cochlear-hindbrain assembloid system to study auditory neural circuity development. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in biomedical sciences. The start date is flexible.    
The Hashino lab is a highly collaborative group of scientists with diverse research backgrounds ranging from chemical engineering to stem cell biology, neuroscience and molecular biology.  We conduct team-based science, while fostering independence and creative approaches to addressing fundamental scientific questions.
The experimental approaches we are currently using include: organoid culture, CRISPR genome editing, CUT&RUN/ChIP, scRNA-seq/scATAC-seq, 3D imaging/expansion microscopy, proteomics, and mathematical modeling.
IUSM is committed to being a welcoming campus community and we seek candidates whose research, teaching, and community engagement efforts contribute to robust learning and working environments for all students, staff, and faculty. We invite individuals who will join us in our mission to improve health equity and well-being for all throughout the state of Indiana.
Basic Qualifications
Doctoral degree is required. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in biomedical sciences.
