Post-Doc Fellow in Hematology
The Nachmani Lab at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is seeking a highly skilled and motivated post-doctoral fellow for an ERC-funded project in hematology. The research focuses on the role of cell-type-specific ribosomes in regulating hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, aiming to uncover how ribosome specialization impacts translation, differentiation, and maintenance of HSCs. The project combines molecular biology techniques, in-depth analysis of HSCs, and in-vivo experiments using mouse models, including bone marrow transplantation. The Genetics Department at the Life Sciences Institute, part of the Alexander Silberman Institute of Life Science, provides a collaborative and diverse environment for research in genetics, epigenetics, and cell biology. Dr. Daphna Nachmani, the supervisor, leads research on RNA modifications and translation regulation in hematopoietic stem cells, with a focus on gene expression in normal blood cell development, leukemia, and viral infections. Her lab utilizes advanced methods such as ribosome profiling, RNA modification sequencing, and CRISPR-based screens. The position offers an annual salary of 120,000 NIS (approximately 3,300 USD), fully funded by an ERC grant. Applicants should have experience with mice and in-vivo techniques, molecular biology skills, and a strong interest in hematology and stem cell biology. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is a globally recognized institution, fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion among its vibrant academic community. The campus is located in Jerusalem, a city rich in history and culture, providing an inspiring setting for research and personal growth. To apply, candidates must submit a letter of motivation, CV with publications, and proof of academic degrees as separate PDF files before the deadline. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to innovative research in hematology and stem cell biology within a leading international university.
