Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center • Cincinnati, OH • 3h ago

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.
