Laboratory Technician
Within a new laboratory at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research we are seeking a highly motivated and organized individual to join our team and assist in experimental animal model systems aimed at understanding genetic and molecular mechanisms regulating hematopoietic stem cells function. Specifically, he/she will mainly carry out experiments in hematopoietic stem cell research through a combination of independent and team driven projects. This individual should be able to independently handle experiments or small research projects, requiring advanced knowledge and experience in a specific scientific area or discipline.
Primary responsibilities include but will not be limited to:
The successful candidate must be proficient in mouse husbandry, PCR-based genotyping, cell culture, flow cytometry, as well as DNA, RNA, and protein isolation and detection techniques. Additionally, this candidate must excel in standard molecular biology techniques and assays and have skill sets in molecular cloning, cell culture, western blotting and PCR.
A Bachelor's Degree and 1-2 year of experience or equivalent combination of education and experience is required. Working knowledge of general principles in genetics and molecular biology, as well as accurate and timely record keeping, impeccable organization, and demonstrated interest in working in a laboratory setting is needed in order to excel in this role.
It is important to note that this position is contingent upon funding for this new lab. Applications will be considered as they are received and until the position is filled.

Postdoctoral Fellow
The Coriell Institute for Medical Research is currently seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our newly established laboratory under the direction of Dr. Jian Huang. The new Postdoctoral Fellow will be brought on board to perform exciting cutting-edge stem cell research. Ideally, we will be seeking candidates that have skills and knowledge in stem cell biology, biochemistry and genetics.
Dr. Huang’s laboratory studies hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) self-renewal and differentiation regulatory mechanisms as well as leukemia. Specifically, Dr. Huang’s research has focused on three main topics:
Dr. Huang’s laboratory uses both transgenic and humanized NSG model as the major research system. The knowledge gained from these studies will provide new insights into the mechanisms of the regulation of HSCs self-renewal and differentiation, as well as the molecular and cellular biology of leukemia stem cells. It will be valuable for the diagnosis and prevention of hematopoietic diseases and the development of innovative therapeutics for many hematopoietic disorders.
Dr. Huang’s laboratory has recently moved to the Coriell Institute for Medical Research in New Jersey. Coriell Insitute is one of the first two official cell banks recognized by the National Institute of Health. It has the world’s most diverse collection of cell lines, DNA, and other biomaterials gathered and distributed for use by the international biomedical research community. The institute is in close proximity to UPenn, Temple, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and Cooper medical center, which provides for an excellent and supportive research environment.
