Offer Description
[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Biology (ASHBi) was selected by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as a part of the World Premier International Research Center (WPI) Program, and it was established within Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study (KUIAS) on 30 October 2018 with Mitinori Saitou, a world-leading developmental biologist, at its head.
ASHBi is now looking for a Program-Specific Researcher (Postdoctoral Fellow) in the laboratory of Professor Takashi Hiiragi (Developmental Biology Group).
[Work content and job description]
ASHBi will investigate the core concepts of human biology with a focus on genome regulation and disease modeling, creating a foundation of knowledge for developing innovative and unique humancentric therapies. The key goals are: 1) to achieve outstanding research in key individual themes in human biology in the area of reproduction, development, growth and aging as well as heredity and evolution; 2) to elucidate the principles for the emergence of species differences among humans, non-human primates, and rodents for proper extrapolation of the findings in model organisms to humans; 3) to generate primate models for key gene functions and intractable diseases; 4) to reconstitute key human cell lineages and tissues in vitro and validate their properties based on integrative information; and 5) to contribute to formalize an ethics for the use of human/non-human primate materials and create a philosophy to direct the values of the Institute’s research outcomes.
The institute is seeking suitable candidates for Program-Specific Researcher (Postdoctoral Fellow) to accelerate its mission. Developmental Biology Group (Hiiragi Group) aims to understand the mechanisms of early development conserved or distinct across mammalian species by using embryos. In particular, the group will gain a fundamental understanding of the development from fertilization to implantation. The successful candidates will have strong expertise in quantitative biology and interdisciplinary approaches, including mathematics or physics. The candidate is expected to perform high-level research and act as the leading researcher in human biology and the related fields, in a stimulating international research environment.
