Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated individual for a postdoctoral position in the Gadue laboratory in the Center of Cellular and Molecular Therapeutics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The Gadue laboratory focuses on using human ES and iPS cell models to study human pancreatic development and diabetes. The NIH funded position aims to study multiple forms of diabetes using genome engineered stem cell lines with a focus on endocrine lineage cells. Projects available include using the stem cell model to functionally validate variants discovered by genome wide association studies and their target genes in beta cell biology, especially in regard to cellular stress and how this relates to diabetes pathogenesis. In addition, projects on the study of monogenic forms of diabetes are also available, focusing on HNF1A and its downstream targets in endocrine cell development and function. Techniques used widely in the laboratory include CRISPR based genome engineering, stem cell culture, in vitro differentiation, flow cytometry, fluorescent microscopy and various genomic techniques (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq etc...). Prior experience in some of these areas while not required would be beneficial.

The postdoc experience will serve to extend, refine and enhance skills necessary for professional and career development, and will enable the individual to broaden his/her scientific background by acquiring new research capabilities. It is expected that this individual will conduct independent scholarly research, and will contribute directly to the overall research goals of the project and the research group. Postdocs will be expected to participate in project planning, recording and interpretation/evaluation of data, and communication of results. Postdocs will also be expected to acquire technical, lab management, and manuscript/grant writing skills; and participate in seminars, lectures, poster sessions and presentations at national meetings. Postdoctoral fellows also may be required to supervise junior lab members, develop new methods and protocols for research, and assist with the development of other research projects in the lab.
