We are writing to ask for your assistance in identifying a Research Scientist to join the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery within the UConn Musculoskeletal Institute at the Assistant or Associate Professor Level in the tenure track. We are searching for an outstanding individual working in either spinal or skeletal cell biology and wanting to make a difference in the field of musculoskeletal research. A Ph.D. or an M.D. degree is required.
Candidates’ research should be aimed at addressing fundamental questions related to cellular, molecular or physiological mechanisms of the skeletal system and/or the translational development of therapeutics to address musculoskeletal pathology. We are particularly interested in individuals currently funded by the National Institutes of Health.
The University of Connecticut School of Medicine has a highly interactive research environment with interdisciplinary graduate and medical science training programs. The UConn Musculoskeletal Institute in a multidisciplinary center housing scientists, clinicians and clinician-scientists under one roof with investigators studying various aspects of skeletal cell biology and biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system. There is ample opportunity to interact/work with basic and physician scientists, including orthopaedic surgeons, a spine clinician-scientist and osteoporosis specialists. Appropriate laboratory space and a start-up package will be offered.
Candidates for the Research Scientist position can contact Dr. Ernesto Canalis (canalis@uchc.eduu) and Dr. Isaac Moss (imoss@uchc.edu).
GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT: The Research Laboratory Technician I is a full-time position, and the primary responsibility is to assist in ongoing research studies under the supervision of a Principal Investigator. This includes collection of and accurate recording of procedures and results, maintenance of databases used in the lab, ordering necessary reagents to conduct experiments, and participation in joint upkeep of the lab. This position requires a person who has Bachelor of Science degree in molecular/cell biology, biochemistry or a related field, pays attention to details, is capable of working independently under close supervision after initial training, possesses good verbal and written communication skills, and works well as part of a team. Work is reviewed regularly with the Principal Investigator who is available to troubleshoot problems. Must be able to perform multiple tasks independently. Technician II requires one year of experience.

The Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Evolutionary and Developmental Genetics Laboratory of Dr. Terence D. Capellini. The focus of the position will be to study the genetic and developmental basis of human-specific adaptations and disease. While the lab primarily concentrates on skeletal adaptations in humans and primates, an important research focus is to identify causal genetic variants that mediate human phenotypes resulting from more recent selection. The lab uses a variety of experimental and computational tools, such as functional genomics (e.g., ATAC-seq), developmental genetics in the mouse (e.g., CRISPR-Cas9), and in vitro methods on human cells, to explore the consequences of genetics variants on human biology.
The research will take place in the Evolutionary and Developmental Genetics Laboratory directed by Dr. Capellini and located in the Peabody Museum on Harvard University’s Cambridge, Massachusetts campus. A doctoral degree is required for this position. Desired qualifications include research in developmental genetics, functional genomics, evolutionary developmental biology, mouse developmental biology and/or human evolutionary genetics.
Please submit a letter of interest, an updated CV, and the names and email addresses of three references to Terence Capellini at tcapellini@fas.harvard.edu. Evaluation will begin at the time this advertisement is posted and will continue until the position is filled.

The Bajpayee lab at Northeastern University in Boston is looking for candidates with interest and expertise in chemical conjugation, peptide design and synthesis, particle formulation, drug delivery and animal studies. We are looking for highly motivated and independent researchers to carry out work in design of electrically charged protein, peptide and exosome based nanocarriers, drug conjugation, modeling transport properties in tissue culture models, examining the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution and tissue targeting efficacy of drugs in injury induced animal models of osteoarthritis. Experience in the following technical areas is preferred: rodent traumatic models of osteoarthritis, small animal surgery and in vivo imaging, molecular and cell biology, flow cytometry and FACS,and immunohistochemistry and imaging.
For post-doc position, prior experience in orthopedic labs and in-vivo models is desired. Individuals must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D., appropriate research experience, strong organizational, interpersonal, communication, and computer skills and be prepared to work in a dynamic multi-disciplinary team environment. Applicants with a strong training background and publication track record in material synthesizes, drug delivery or cartilage biology are highly encouraged to apply.

About Bajpayee lab: (more at https://web.northeastern.edu/bajpayeelab/)
Bajpayee lab works on drug delivery to connective and charged tissues such as cartilage, meniscus, intervertebral disc and mucosal membranes. Their dense extracellular matrix, however, hinders penetration of most drugs. We utilize concepts of nanomedicine and bio-electrostatics to design polypeptides, protein and cell derived exosomebased carriers for targeted and sustained delivery of small molecule drugs, protein growth factors, antibodies and genetic materials to specific intra-tissue and intra-cellular target sites inside connective tissues. A main focus is on using charge interactions and other binding mechanisms to rationally design drug carriers that can penetrate through the dense matrix of avascular, negatively charged tissues. We are also interested in understanding mechanisms leading to degenerative joint diseases (e.g., osteoarthritis) due to ageing and traumatic injuries. The lab strives to combine basic science with translational research to develop biomedical technologies. Our Lab is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative with established collaborations with Harvard Medical School, MIT,BUMC and MGH.
