The Younger Lab is actively searching for a highly motivated PhD-level scientist to lead projects centered around the development of patient-derived cellular systems to be used for functional precision medicine applications. The role will involve the reprogramming of patient specimens into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and the generation of patient-specific 3-dimensional organoid models.

Ideal applicants will have a PhD in molecular biology, genetics, or a related field and 3-5 years of additional experience. Experience working with mammalian cell culture is required. Candidates that have hands-on experience working with stem cell models are highly encouraged to apply.

The Younger Lab is affiliated with the new Children's Mercy Research Institute at Children's Mercy Kansas City, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine.
