Job description

  • Background of the recruitment and description of the project

    Our recent study proposed the co-existence of two distinct stem cell populations – slow- and fast-cycling stem cells – in the mouse skin epidermis (Sada et al., Nat. Cell. Biol. 2016); however, it remains unknown how aging or inflammation affects these stem cell populations and how it contributes to skin dysfunction and diseases. We are seeking a talented postdoctoral fellow to work on a skin aging and inflammation project under the supervision of Dr. Aiko Sada.

    Kyushu University is one of the top 10 research-oriented universities in Japan, located in Fukuoka city. Medical Institute of Bioregulation (MIB) is a cutting-edge research institute at Kyushu University that focuses on diverse areas of biomedical research, including aging, immunology, and human diseases.
