Medical Faculty of Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic invites excellent scientists to apply for POSTDOC POSITION in Dental Development and Regeneration field

We offer a postdoctoral position with a topic focused on understanding key mechanisms of developmental biology and the stem cell niche ( in vivo ). Our research group reveals the various processes involved in maintaining stem cell niche homeostasis, their phenotypical changes after injury, the control of growth dynamics, mechanobiology and development, regeneration and micropatterning of hard tissues. To achieve our scientific objectives, we use comprehensive methodological approaches including single-cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, genetically modified organisms (lineage tracing, conditional knockouts, engineering of new genetically modified strains), advanced imaging techniques including confocal, light sheet or super- resolution microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, micro- CT, mathematical modelling and many others. All of our projects are based on large network of local and international collaborators. This offers multiple opportunities of traveling, networking and collecting experience also outside our lab. Our research group offers vibrant environment full of enthusiastic people helping each other with a common aim to produce highly-visible publications in high-impact journals. We regularly organize lab retreats or having other team-building activities. We are currently looking for a new member of our team with previous experience in developmental biology, stem cell biology ( in vivo ), or dental research.
