About the Role
The Matern Lab at Merrimack College is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join its NIH- funded research project on inner ear sensory cell biology using organoid models. The successful candidate will work closely with Dr. Maggie Matern and members of a collaborative research team to generate and analyze stem cell-derived inner ear organoids, with the goal of uncovering the molecular mechanisms that drive sensory cell development.
Responsibilities
- Develop independent, hypothesis-driven research
- Contribute to ongoing projects in the lab
- Mentor undergraduate and graduate researchers
- Participate in a collaborative research environment
- Mentorship in grant writing and career development

Research Statement
To achieve this, the project employs lentiviral approaches to generate novel stem cell tools containing inducible CRISPR constructs. Following inner ear organoid generation, these tools will enable precise temporal control of gene expression in sensory cells, providing new insights into the functions of key developmental genes and the mechanisms that govern sensory cell formation.
