Research
The
WFPSRL
has
an
opening
for
a
highly
creative
and
motivated
postdoctoral
fellow
with
an
interest
in
regenerative
medicine,
tissue
engineering,
microvascular
remodeling
and
bioreactor
principles.
Successful
candidates
will
join
the
Department
of
Plastic
and
Reconstructive
Surgery
at
the
Wake
Forest
University
School
of
Medicine.
Among
other
areas,
our
group’s
research
activities
include
efforts
directed
toward
the
development
of
novel
approaches
to
tissue
salvage,
repair,
replacement
and/or
regeneration
using
cell-based
methods.
Our
laboratory
employs:
cell
isolation,
cell/tissue
culture,
functional
in
vitro
cell
assays,
histology,
Flow
cytometry,
molecular
biology,
and
various
rodent
and
porcine
models.
The
primary
project
will
focus
on:
1. The
use
of
bioreactors
and
“bottom-up”
tissue
engineering
strategies.
2. Understanding
how
perfusion
impacts
vasculogenesis
in
the
setting
of
3-D
niche
environments.
3. Adapting
findings
and
strategies
to
scaled
pre-clinical
models
of
tissue
repair/replacement.
Requirements:
The
applicant
must
be
an
MD,
PhD
or
MD/PhD
graduate
ideally
with:
• Excellent
cell
biology
skills
• Experience
in
Biomedical
Engineering
• Outstanding
personal
initiative
and
communication
skills,
including
experience
and/or
ability
to
prepare
manuscripts
and/or
grants
for
peer
review
• Strong
publication
record
in
peer-reviewed
journals
• Minimum
of
1-year
commitment,
but
preferably
2
years
Candidates
should
email
an
updated
CV,
complete
contact
information
for
three
references
and
a
cover
letter
describing
their
past
research
experience,
career
goals
and
a
statement
of
future
research
interest
(~
1/2
–

to
contact
listed
above.
