ABOUT YUVAL LAB
The Rinkevich lab investigates fundamental mechanisms of tissue regeneration, wound repair, and stem cell lineage behavior. Our multidisciplinary approach spans from the level of whole organisms to that of single cells, using state-of-the-art mouse genetics, multicolor “Rainbow” and Tetrachimera models, advanced imaging, flow cytometry, and single-cell omics to pursue diverse questions on how tissues/organs regenerate from single stem cells, and what underlies the clinical basis of maladaptive wound repair such as chronic wounds, and organ fibrosis. Our mission is to leverage our basic findings for enhanced repair and regeneration. Our work therefore carries both basic, clinical & evolutionary implications, and has been published in Nature, Science, Nature Cell Biology, Nature Immunology, and Science Translational Medicine journals (to name a few).

Open positions
Postdoctoral Positions in ‘Biophysical Mechanisms of Tissue Regeneration’
Positions are available for outstanding and motivated individuals with Ph.D. degrees in theoretical, computational, modeling, or experimental biophysics, who are interested in applying fundamental biophysical principles—such as phase separation, biomolecular condensates, phase transitions, and colloidal physics—to biological systems and tissue regeneration.
The postdoc will collaborate closely with cell biologists, geneticists, and regenerative medicine researchers to develop integrative theoretical and experimental frameworks that connect biophysical phenomena with tissue-level outcomes. Candidates with training in soft matter physics, active matter, physical modeling of biological systems, or mesoscale simulations are especially encouraged to apply.
Main Responsibilities
a. Independently carry out or participate in laboratory research projects.
b. Assist the principal investigator (PI) in supervising graduate students.
Qualifications
a. Hold a Ph.D. degree in biophysics, soft matter, theoretical/computational physics, or a related discipline.
b. Have published research as first author in respected journals.
c. Demonstrate the ability to independently conduct research, supervise students, and maintain scientific rigor.
d. Experience in simulations, modeling, or physical analysis of biological systems is preferred.
e. Strong proficiency in English, including fluent oral communication and academic writing skills.
Welfare Treatment
a. Competitive salary based on the applicant’s work experience and ability (salary negotiable).
b. Social insurance and housing fund, supplementary medical insurance, physical examination and paid annual leave.
c. Opportunities for career development and available professional guidance.
How to apply
Please email the following documents as a single PDF to: Dr. Yuval Rinkevich at yuval.rinkevich@cimrbj.ac.cn
a. Updated CV with contact information
b. Short summary of research experience & interests
c. Names and contact details of three references
