Required Qualifications Applicants must have: A PhD in stem cell biology, developmental biology, cell biology, molecular biology, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, or a closely related field A PhD completed recently, preferably within the past three years Demonstrated hands-on experience with human iPSC culture, including feeder-free maintenance, passaging, expansion, cryopreservation, recovery, and routine troubleshooting Experience developing, optimizing, or executing directed differentiation protocols for human iPSCs Experience assessing pluripotency, differentiation efficiency, cellular identity, purity, viability, and functional phenotype using molecular and cellular assays Knowledge of iPSC quality control, including morphology, mycoplasma testing, genomic stability, contamination prevention, and line-to-line or batch-to-batch variability A strong publication record relevant to stem cell biology, iPSC differentiation, developmental biology, tissue engineering, or regenerative medicine Strong experimental, analytical, written, and oral communication skills. Responsibilities The successful candidate will: Maintain, expand, cryopreserve, recover, and quality-control human iPSC lines Develop, optimize, and reproduce directed differentiation protocols for selected cell lineages Generate and characterize gene-edited or otherwise engineered iPSC lines, when required by the project Establish robust assays for pluripotency, lineage identity, purity, viability, maturation, and cellular function Investigate and troubleshoot variability related to iPSC lines, culture conditions, differentiation batches, and experimental scale-up Design and execute independent research studies and analyze and interpret experimental data Prepare manuscripts, presentations, reports, protocols, and grant-related materials Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams of stem cell biologists, engineers, immunologists, and clinicians Mentor junior researchers and contribute to laboratory organization, quality systems, and shared iPSC workflows.
