| Position Summary | A postdoctoral fellow position (all levels) is immediately available in Dr. Tran’s lab for highly motivated and talented applicants who are interested in understanding the mechanisms of blood disorders and developing therapeutic approaches for such diseases. The successful candidate will perform research in the NIH-funded project aiming to understand the mechanism of Fanconi Anemia and develop gene therapy using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This project will closely collaborate with Dr. Reuben Kapur, director of the Wells Center for Pediatric Research.

Candidates with experience in mouse models in hematopoiesis/hematological malignancies and multi-channel flow cytometry will be very competitive, but not required. The Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research is a highly interactive and diverse research environment with a strong history of mentoring and career development of junior scientists. In addition to a rich research environment, the Center and School of Medicine provide numerous scientific seminar series, career development workshops, and the opportunity to interact with a diverse pool of international scientists. The Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research conducts basic science and translational research within the Department of Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. The Wells Center houses more than 200 faculty investigators, staff, and trainees seeking answers to the most pressing questions related to childhood illness. With the collaboration between scientists and physicians, the center aims to increase knowledge of causes and mechanisms of serious pediatric diseases. Our goal is to develop innovative approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of sick children in Indiana and beyond. As the nation’s largest medical school, IUSM is committed to being an institution that not only reflects the diversity of the learners we teach and the patient populations we serve, but also pursues the values of diversity, equity and inclusion that inform academic excellence.
