Postdoctoral Positions in ‘Regeneration and Ageing’
The Yun Lab (The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing)
We are seeking outstanding, highly motivated scientists to join our efforts to unveil cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying organ regeneration and probe the links between
regeneration and ageing. We employ two genetically-tractable salamander models, the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl), known for their extreme regenerative abilities and negligible senescence traits. Combining state-of-the-art genetics, cell and molecular biology approaches, advanced imaging, multi-omics and cross-species comparative studies, we aim to uncover fundamental principles of regeneration and
ageing towards basic and therapeutic applications. Further information can be found at
Candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in Biology, Biochemistry, Computational Biology or related, an outstanding academic track record, and fluency in spoken and written English. A strong background and research experience in Regenerative, Ageing, Developmental or
Evolutionary Biology is desirable. Ideally, candidates would be trained in animal experimentation (not exclusive), tissue culture, bioinformatics and cell/molecular biology techniques.
We offer an international, creative, science-driven and inspiring environment. The successful candidate will benefit from our large network of collaborations (Germany, UK, USA) and have immediate opportunities to contribute to international projects. Our lab is located at the newly built Institute for Regenerative Biology and Medicine, Chinese Institutes for medical research.The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing (CIMR, Beijing) is a new research
organization dedicated to advancing basic and translational medical research. Our goal is to tackle fundamental problems in human health with cutting-edge technologies and through interdisciplinary collaborations with world-class scientists and physicians. We are committed to a science-centered framework to promote innovation in research and education through a variety of novel funding mechanisms. We provide competitive salary based on the applicant’s
work experience and ability (salary negotiable; social insurance and housing fund, supplementary medical insurance, physical examination and paid annual leave). We actively support career development and provide relevant professional guidance. For more information, please visit our website: www.cimrbj.ac.cn.

Molecular Biology Technician
The Yun Lab (The Chinese Institutes for Medical Research, Beijing)
The Yun group leverages salamander systems in order to unveil the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying organ regeneration, determine how phylogenetic changes affect regenerative potential, and probe the links between regeneration and ageing. We employ two genetically-tractable salamander models, the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) and the Iberian ribbed newt (Pleurodeles waltl), known for their extreme regenerative abilities and negligible
senescence traits. Combining state-of-the-art genetics, cell and molecular biology approaches, advanced imaging, multiomics and cross-species comparative studies, we aim
to uncover fundamental principles of regeneration and ageing towards basic and therapeutic applications. Further information can be found at www.theyunlab.com.
We are seeking a highly skilled Molecular Biologist to join our efforts to unravelling the links between regeneration and ageing. He/she will conduct research collaboratively as well as independently. The successful candidate will have a strong background on molecular biology approaches including state-of-the-art gene editing, cloning methods, CRISPR/Cas-9 technologies, mTol2 or equivalent systems, animal transgenesis, cell culture, tissue processing including preparation, sectioning and staining techniques (immunostainings IHC/IF and standard/HCR in situ hybridization). Prior experience with regeneration models and/or surgical procedures is a bonus. Soft skills include keen attention to details and fluency in spoken and written English.

We are seeking a highly motivated bioinformatician to join our efforts to unravelling the links between regeneration and ageing. The successful candidate will:
​
• Design and conduct bioinformatic analyses of data at single cell and bulk level, including transcriptomic, epigenetic (e.g. DNAm arrays, genomic data) and proteomic datasets, including mRNA sequencing data generated via the 10XMultiome workflow and Illumina sequencing.
• Conduct cross-species single cell analyses.
• Analyse and interpret spatial transcriptomics.
• Contribute to hypothesis generation, experimental design, analytical pipeline documentation, research presentations and manuscript preparation.
• Provide training/guidance to other team members
• Balance independent work and team collaboration
Candidates should have a degree in bioinformatics or a related field, strong theoretical knowledge and experience in bioinformatics, particularly single cell data and spatial
transcriptomics analyses. Fluency in spoken and written English is required. Prior experience in the fields of Regeneration, Aging or Evolutionary biology is a bonus.
