Postdoc Position in Developmental and Synthetic Biology in the Kalhor Lab @ Johns Hopkins University

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in Prof. Reza Kalhor’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. We develop molecular recording, genomics, and computational approaches to understand mammalian neurodevelopment. Current areas focus in our lab are genomic barcoding and spatial sequencing as well as their application to mouse models of neurodevelopmental disorders. Related publications include Kalhor et al. 2017 Nature Methods, Kalhor et al. 2018 Science, and Leeper et al. 2021 Nature Protocols.

We pride ourselves in establishing a creative, stimulating, and diverse environment wherein researchers put their ideas into action and obtain expertise in technology development and/or quantitative and synthetic biological approaches. We also benefit from collaborating with world-class epigenetics, neuroscience, and biomedical engineering groups at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and beyond.

Candidates must hold a doctorate degree and have relevant experience in molecular biology, genome biology, developmental biology, biomedical engineering, or a related field. The candidate must be open to combining experimental and computational work. The ideal candidate would be scientifically driven, curious, well-organized, and a self-starter. The ideal candidate would further have a record of presenting research results through publications as well as good interpersonal and communication skills.

Interested applicants should email their CV, a cover letter describing current work and future objectives, and contact information for three references to Dr. Kalhor (kalhor@jhu.edu). We strongly encourage applications from underrepresented or minority groups. More information is available at https://kalhorlab.bme.jhu.edu.
