Postdoctoral Position in Regenerative Biology: We are seeking highly motivated candidates with an interest in regenerative biology and extreme physiology to join Dr. Huang’s laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The research focuses on organ development, regeneration, and repair using zebrafish, neonatal, and adult mice. The lab employs innovative techniques, including single-cell analysis, advanced imaging microscopy, and genome manipulation technology.
Title: Postdoctoral Fellow Position in Regenerative Biology and Extreme Physiology
Designation: Postdoctoral Fellow
Research Area: Regenerative Biology, Extreme Physiology, Cardiovascular Diseases, Developmental and Stem Cell Biology
Location: University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, USA
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in a relevant field such as Biology, Regenerative Medicine, Physiology, or related disciplines
- Strong background in molecular biology, genetics, or imaging techniques
- Experience with CRISPR/Cas genome manipulation, single-cell analysis, or high-resolution imaging is desirable
- Highly motivated candidates with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
Job Description:
The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary research program at the intersection of developmental and stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, cardiovascular diseases, metabolism, and physiology. Research directions include:
- Developing novel intravital imaging and tissue clearing techniques for high-resolution visualization of cellular behavior during heart development and regeneration.
- Performing functional screens to induce adult mouse and human cardiomyocyte regeneration using CRISPR/Cas genome manipulation technology.
- Investigating the decline of regenerative potential in adult mammalian organs such as the heart, limbs, skin, brain, and spinal cord.
- Identifying novel mammalian animal models with extraordinary regenerative capacity through phylogenetic screening.
- Exploring human genetic mutations linked to cardiac diseases and their impact on regenerative potential.
- Studying the molecular basis of extreme biology in species like whales, naked mole-rats, and ground squirrels.
Postdoctoral Scholars will receive generous benefits, including supplemented health insurance and access to University housing in San Francisco.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit a single PDF file including:
- Cover letter with a brief statement of research experience, interests, and career plan
- Curriculum vitae
- A list of three references
Applications should be sent to Dr. Huang at Guo.Huang@ucsf.edu.
Last Date for Apply: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
