Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Warmflash) Stem Cell Biology

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join an interdisciplinary project focused on the biology of embryo implantation. The position centers on understanding how the endometrium and early embryo communicate and respond to one another during the implantation window, with a particular interest in identifying cellular and molecular factors that influence implantation success. Work will draw on patient‑derived endometrial organoids and human embryo models to recapitulate the implantation interface in vitro, paired with advanced imaging approaches to track dynamic cellular behaviors. A strong background in cell or developmental biology is essential; experience with organoid culture, embryology, or quantitative imaging is a plus. The position offers an opportunity to pursue questions with both basic science significance and translational relevance to reproductive medicine. Major Duties and Responsibilities Develop the skills and knowledge (critical thinking and analysis of data, devising specific aims, long‑term project planning and experimental design) to become an independent scientist. Design, execute, and record laboratory experiments, and analyze data, which may affect decisions regarding future patient care. Research and improve current methods and evaluate innovative techniques; protocol and assay accuracy by conducting regular quality and reproducibility checks. Implement this knowledge in the Division/Department. Troubleshoot and correct erroneous results or problems with laboratory equipment. Discuss relevant insights about experimental results with Faculty and provide useful recommendations and analysis. Present research at laboratory meetings, journal clubs, seminars, and meetings. Develop skills to critically review and discuss data being presented. Draft, write, and edit scientific reports, papers, journal articles, abstracts, and grants. Progressively increase responsibilities with mentorship of research staff and fiscal administration. Maintain currency in the field through continuing education, literature, and seminars. Be an active participant in the process through intellectual discussions with PI and other faculty, trainees and research staff. Solicit feedback on career trajectory from PI, mentoring committee and others who can provide coaching and insight. Attend required Cincinnati Children’s training sessions and ensure regulatory compliance with all institutional policies and procedures (e.g., Infection Control, ORCRA). Perform other duties as assigned. Qualifications PhD/MD or equivalent. Job Details Primary Location: R Schedule: Full time Shift: Day (United States of America) Department: Dev.
