What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Research Associate_Huang Lab_Oral Biology position at uic?
Position Summary
The Postdoctoral Fellow will carry out advanced research under the supervision of Dr. Chun-Chieh Huang in the Department of Oral Biology at the University of Illinois Chicago. The position focuses on wound healing and exosome-mediated tissue regeneration, with particular emphasis on developing and characterizing biomaterial-based and molecular approaches that enhance tissue repair. The successful candidate will utilize both in vivo animal models and in vitro primary cell systems to study the biological mechanisms underlying extracellular vesicle (EV) signaling and their applications in regenerative medicine.Collaborate with the Principal Investigator and research team to design, plan, and execute research objectives within the scope of ongoing NIH-funded projects.
Conduct experiments involving primary cell isolation, culture, and functional assays, as well as rodent models for tissue regeneration and wound healing.
Develop, optimize, and implement both established and novel laboratory techniques and analytical methods.
Maintain detailed and organized laboratory records, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and experimental data.
Analyze and interpret research data; prepare figures, tables, and presentations for lab meetings, manuscripts, and grant proposals.
Participate in manuscript preparation and submission to peer-reviewed journals.
Present research findings at national and international scientific meetings.
Train and mentor graduate students or research assistants in relevant experimental techniques.
Ensure compliance with all institutional laboratory safety, animal care, and research ethics policies.
Perform additional research-related duties as assigned by the Principal Investigator. Perform other related duties and participate in special projects as assigned.
