Post-doctoral Fellowship in the Targoff Lab Studying Cardiac Development and Regeneration
Posted by Kimara Targoff, on 11 May 2023
Location: New York City
Closing Date: 31 December 2025
A post-doctoral position is available in the Targoff Lab, Department of Pediatrics and Columbia Stem Cell Initiative, at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, starting in June 2025.
The primary focus of the Targoff Lab is to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular development and regeneration. We accomplish these goals through the use of zebrafish as a model system and expand our studies into the fields of transcriptional regulation, cardiac mechanobiology, and stem cell biology. We utilize an innovative combination of genetic, live-imaging, single cell genomic, and transgenic approaches.
Outstanding and highly motivated candidates with backgrounds in developmental biology, genetics, and molecular biology who hold a Ph.D. or M.D. should apply to Dr. Kimara L. Targoff (kl284@columbia.edu) with a cover letter and curriculum vitae included.
Start date: 1 June 2025
Closing Date: 31 December 2025
Scientific fields: Cardiovascular development, Cell fate control and differentiation, Cell biology, Development and disease, Organogenesis, Regeneration
Model systems: Zebrafish
Duration: Permanent
Minimum qualifications: PhD or MD
