Position Summary
A Research Assistant Professor position is available in the laboratory of Kostandin Pajcini, Ph.D. in the Department of Pharmacology and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Illinois in Chicago. The lab studies the processes that lead to the development and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. We are particularly interested in studying the processes and cellular signaling that lead to the emergence, maturation and expansion of stem cells in murine embryonic development and in the bone marrow niche during regeneration.
