Description

The Filippi lab is recruiting a motivated postdoctoral fellow with interest and expertise in Hematopoiesis and Hematopoietic Stem Cell functions. Our laboratory has several exiting projects focusing on the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal under regenerative conditions and during aging. We are addressing fundamental and important questions about the role of stress signaling pathways, mitochondrial metabolism and innate immune signaling on HSC functions, how these pathways contribute to the functional decline of the hematopoietic system after regenerative stress and how these stress-related pathways contribute to secondary neoplasms, including bone marrow failure and myelodysplastic syndromes. The lab uses state-of-the-art imaging technologies, multi-omics approaches, extensive mouse models and patient specimen.

MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
??? Design, execute, and record laboratory experiments, and analyze the data.
??? Research and improve current methods and evaluate innovative techniques. Implement this knowledge in the Division/Department.
??? Present research at laboratory meetings, journal clubs, seminars, and meetings.
??? Draft, write, and edit scientific reports, papers, journal articles, abstracts, and grants.
??? Maintain currency in field through continuing education, literature, and seminars.
??? Attend required Cincinnati Children's training sessions and ensure regulatory compliance with all policies and procedures.
??? Perform other duties as assigned.
