The
WFPSRL
has
an
opening
for
a
highly
creative
and
motivated
postdoctoral
fellow
with
an
interest
in
adipose-derived
cell
biology.
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
repair,
replacement
and
regeneration
using
adipose-derived
cells
and
factors.
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. Elucidating
how
different
adipose
handling/processing
steps
impacts
SVF
cell
composition
2. Understanding
how
different
SVF
cell
composition
impacts
bio-activity/function
(e.g.
angiogenic,
immune-modulatory)
in-vivo.
3. Development
of
ideas
that
enable
translation
of
findings
into
novel
devices
and/or
clinical
application.
Requirements:
The
applicant
must
be
an
MD,
PhD
or
MD/PhD
graduate
ideally
with:
• 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
• Excellent
cell
biology
skills
• Minimum
of
1-year
commitment,
but
preferably
2
years
Candidates
with
experience
in
human
sample
handling
are
encouraged
to
apply.
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
(~
