Postdoctoral Researcher in Optic Nerve Glial Development
University of California, DavisDavis, CAPosted 7/10/2024The laboratory of Nadean Brown, in the Department of Cell Biology and Human Anatomy at the University of California Davis, is recruiting one postdoctoral scholar. The successful candidate will join an established, NIH-funded project that evaluates the Pax2 gene -- both its cis-regulation, via deeply-conserved, noncoding DNA enhancers, and its
in vivo
genetic requirements in the prenatal and postnatal mouse eye. We offer a supportive, diverse, and stimulating laboratory and departmental environment, cutting-edge instrumentation and facilities, and a strong culture of scientific interactions with nearby labs.The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research that tests the necessity and sufficiency of candidate
Pax2
ocular enhancers, assist with conditional mouse mutant analyses and develop new methods for isolating cells in the
Pax2
ocular lineage(s). The primary worksite is the merged Brown-Glaser laboratories within Tupper Hall. The chosen candidate will receive extensive specialized training and frequent mentoring, but also ample opportunities to develop an independent research program.Responsibilities include:Stay abreast of current literature.Design and execute experiments.Train new lab members.Evaluate data for grant applications and journal publications.Contribute to journal peer-review.Present research findings at local and national level scientific conferences.Applicants must have a PhD degree in the life sciences. Strongest consideration will be given to applicants who recently completed their doctoral studies and have at least one first author publication. Candidates with experience in cell biology, genetics or developmental biology (any organism) are highly desirable. Experience with microscopy/imaging is an asset, but expertise with molecular, biochemical or genomic/bioinformatic techniques is also very welcome.
