Cedars-Sinai Medical Centerの宮口健と申します。同じフロアにあるKumar Labでポスドクを募集しております。Kumar Labでは急性腎障害（AKI）後の修復・再生機構の解明、治療標的の探索の研究を行っています。PIのSanjeev Kumar, MD, PhDは以前に日本人研究者と仕事をしてとても良い印象を持ったため、熱意のある日本人研究者の採用を希望しており、代わりにこちらに投稿させていただきました。

今回、グラント獲得に伴ってポスドクを追加募集しています。ご興味を持たれた方は以下の募集要項をご覧ください。また、募集に関するご質問・ご応募は直接Sanjeev Kumar (Sanjeev.Kumar@cshs.org)にお問い合わせください。Cedars-Sinai Medical Centerでの研究環境またはロサンゼルス生活など一般的なご質問でしたら私（ken.miyaguchi@cshs.org）にご連絡いただいても構いません。

Description:
The laboratory's research focuses on dissecting out the cellular and molecular cross-talk/pathways of kidney repair/regeneration after mammalian acute kidney injury (AKI) to discover therapeutic targets to augment endogenous kidney repair responses and suppress pathological interstitial remodeling “fibrosis” after human AKI. To this end, the laboratory couples cutting-edge transgenic mice (including dual cell-type specific reporter system) which enables genetic lineage-tracing, tissue-specific loss-and gain of function approaches, and bulk- and single-cell sequencing to clinically relevant acute kidney injury models and kidney development. The human transplant kidneys and single-cell sequencing of human kidneys is employed to confirm and validate the above responses. I just obtained a grant on single-cell sequencing human kidneys, and I am very keen to get things going on the front too.

Working independently but in close cooperation with the Principal Investigator and other Research Scientists, you will perform routine and complex laboratory procedures throughout the training period, and may develop, adapt, and implement new research techniques and protocols and analyze and interpret data. You will also participate in publications and presentations as author or co-author and may assist in the preparation of grant proposals, but will not be responsible for generating grant funds.

Participation in laboratory meetings, keeping a lab notebook, performing calculations, tabulating data, summarizing methods and results of related experiments and general lab maintenance will be required. The individual will be expected to function efficiently and cooperatively with a team of faculty, research associates, technicians and students.

Educational Requirements:
Doctorate (MD, PhD, VMD, or DDS) in area directly related to field of research specialization

Experience and Expertise:
• Primary interest in regenerative medicine and stem cells, molecular cloning, next generation sequencing such as RNA-seq and Chip-Seq, high resolution imaging, and Crispr/Cas9-based gene editing methodologies
• Outstanding molecular and cell biology training with experience of the above genetic technologies
• Demonstrated aptitude to perform experimental protocols and procedures, including detailed data collection, and analysis and operation and maintenance of specialized equipment
• Schedule flexibility to include evening, weekend and holiday rotation commitment is required
• Excellent written and oral communication skills

Funding:
The research is funded by American Society of Nephrology (John Merril Award), American heart association, and NIH RO1 5-year grant.
