Postdoctoral in Regenerative Biology, University of California, USA

Postdoctoral in Regenerative Biology: The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral candidates to join Dr. Huang’s laboratory. The research focuses on regenerative biology and extreme physiology using innovative approaches such as single-cell analysis, advanced imaging microscopy, and genome manipulation technology. The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary research environment spanning developmental and stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, cardiovascular diseases, metabolism, and physiology.

Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Regenerative Biology and Extreme Physiology

Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow

Research Area:

• Organ development, regeneration, and repair in zebrafish, neonatal, and adult mice.
• Pathways regulating resident stem cell activation and mature cell dedifferentiation/proliferation.
• Advanced imaging techniques, single-cell analysis, and genome manipulation.

Location: University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), San Francisco, USA

Eligibility/Qualification:

• Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., developmental biology, stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, cardiovascular research, metabolism, or physiology).
• Strong background in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, or bioinformatics.
• Experience with imaging techniques, single-cell analysis, or genome manipulation is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary setting.

Job Description:
The postdoctoral fellow will engage in cutting-edge research to explore regenerative biology using novel techniques such as intravital imaging and tissue clearing, CRISPR/Cas9 genome manipulation, and functional genetic screens. Research areas include:

1. Developing high-resolution imaging and tissue clearing techniques for cellular behavior analysis.
2. Inducing adult mouse and human cardiomyocyte regeneration via genetic and pharmacological approaches.
3. Investigating mechanisms underlying the decline of regenerative potential in mammalian organs.
4. Identifying novel mammalian models with exceptional regenerative capabilities.
5. Exploring human genetic mutations in rare heart diseases related to cardiac regeneration.
6. Studying extreme biology in species such as whales, naked mole-rats, and ground squirrels.

How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file including:

1. Cover letter detailing research experience, interests, and career plans.
2. Curriculum vitae (CV).
3. Contact details of three references.

Applications should be sent to Dr. Guo Huang at Guo.Huang@ucsf.edu.

Last Date to Apply: Open until filled.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Supplemented health insurance.
• Access to University housing in San Francisco: UCSF Housing and Commuting.

This position provides an excellent opportunity to work at the forefront of regenerative biology with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a highly collaborative research environment. We encourage applications from candidates passionate about advancing the field of regenerative medicine.
