Opportunities

Postdoctoral Fellow

The Leucht laboratory at New York University School of Medicine (Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Cell Biology) has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral scientist. Our laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of adult fracture healing and bone regeneration. This position is for a highly motivated individual with considerable experience in cell biology and/or bone biology. Experience in animal models of human diseases is desirable but not required.

Applicants should possess a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree in molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry and a strong publication record. Interested individuals should send a curriculum vita, and the names/phone numbers of three people who could provide letters of reference.

Research Technician

We are seeking a highly-motivated research technician to assist in studying the molecular and cellular biology of bone fracture healing. This individual will assist in maintaining mouse colonies, perform perioperative monitoring of the animals. In addition, the successful candidate will perform DNA/RNA isolation, PCR, Western blot, histology, in situ hybridization, cell and tissue culture, transfections, and microscopy. The technician will also be responsible for maintaining a laboratory notebook and assisting with other laboratory tasks as needed. Great opportunity for a gap year before medical school.
