The Biological and Environmental Sciences and Engineering (BESE) Division at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) invites qualified applicants for Faculty positions in a newly established initiative in Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine.

We seek outstanding investigators to develop novel and interdisciplinary research programs aimed at enhancing cell and organ regeneration through the utilization of cell / protein / gene therapies, tissue engineering, biomaterials, and small molecules. We are particularly interested in outstanding investigators whose research synergizes with these general themes:
• Stem Cell Niche
• Reprogramming and Differentiation
• Endogenous Regeneration
• Stem Cells Genomics and Epigenomics
• Microfluidic Organs-on-Chips
• Scaffolds and 3D Bioprinting

This initiative will provide a scientific and intellectual space to foster the development of a world-class Stem Cell & Regenerative Medicine Program, which will further leverage the outstanding scientific platforms, research funding and collaborative partners in a variety of relevant fields already present at KAUST.

Applications for faculty positions at all ranks are now welcome. For more information and to apply for the position, please visit http://bese.kaust.edu.sa and click on the Employment tab. Applications received by November 1, 2015 will receive full consideration and positions will remain open until filled.
