Postdoc – Molecular & Developmental Biology, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, La Jolla, California
Posted by Gregg Duester, on 23 August 2021
Job type: Postdoc
Location: La Jolla, California USA
Closing Date: 31 January 2022
An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available that will focus on investigating the signaling functions of retinoic acid during mouse embryonic development.
We are searching for a Postdoctoral Associate to explore the epigenetic mechanisms through which retinoic acid and nuclear receptor transcriptional coregulators control the early stages of organogenesis, including identification of direct target genes, enhancers/silencers, and pathways controlled by retinoic acid The methods used will include CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, RNA-seq transcriptome analysis, and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq).
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. with a strong background in molecular biology; expertise in mouse developmental biology is helpful but not required. Salary $62,400 with full benefits.
Interested applicants should email their CV and contact info for three references to:
