The Shyam lab is seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D. scientist to join our team as a postdoctoral research scholar. We investigate the mechanisms behind corneal endothelial homeostasis and disease. We use mouse models, bioinformatics, and cell culture studies to pursue our research questions.

The Shyam lab is enthusiastic to mentor and train all members of the laboratory. To understand more about the lab culture and philosophy, we encourage all applicants to visit https://shyam.lab.uiowa.edu/

We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, including stem cell biology, biomedical engineering, cellular/molecular biology, bioinformatics, physiology, and similar fields.

    Ph.D. in biology, or related field

   Recent publications demonstrating excellent written and verbal communication skills

   Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a dynamic research environment

Experience in specific skillsets or techniques are not required. But example skillsets and techniques that we typically use in the in the lab are:

• 
  

  Mouse models of corneal endothelial diseases

  
  


• 
  

  Primary mouse and human corneal endothelial cell isolation and culture 

  
  


• Common techniques in biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology


• 
  

  Animal handling, animal injections

  
  


• Tissue processing and staining


• Cell/tissue imaging techniques such as fluorescence and confocal microscopy
