Yue Lab
is seeking postdoctoral fellows to join the newly established team at the University of California, San Francisco. Affiliated with the Department of Physiology and the Neuroscience Graduate Program,
our research investigates the complex interactions between neural tissues and bodily fluids . We focus on regions surrounding the brain's ventricles, where the unique absence of a typical blood-brain barrier facilitates direct chemical exchanges between the brain, bloodstream, and cerebrospinal fluid. Our objective is to understand how cells at these critical interfaces regulate signals like hormones and metabolites and to uncover their contribution to neurological disorders. Our research goals include: Developing precise genetic and viral tools to target specific cell types in the areas around the brain's ventricles and central canal. Deciphering cellular and molecular pathways using advanced techniques in transcriptomics, electrophysiology, imaging, and pharmacology to understand their roles in physiology, pathology, and response to injury. We are committed to supporting the growth of postdoc researchers, providing tailored mentorship aligned with individual career goals. Postdocs will have opportunities to explore new techniques, participate in collaborations, attend conferences, present their work, and engage with the broader scientific community. Strong support is available for career development, including support for fellowship and grant applications. International scholars are warmly welcomed. UC San Francisco seeks candidates whose experience, teaching, research, or community service has prepared them to contribute to our commitment to diversity and excellence. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age or protected veteran status. Postdoctoral Scholars will be eligible for generous benefits including supplemented health insurance and University housing in San Francisco. Job Requirements : Possess a PhD in Physiology, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field. Demonstrate a genuine passion and dedication to research, coupled with a readiness to tackle challenges. Priority will be given to candidates with experience in brain slice electrophysiology, voltage or calcium imaging, mouse disease models, protein biochemistry, and cell culture. A CV in English, including the contact information of at least three referees. A brief summary of your past research and future interests. We are a new research lab in the Department of Physiology at UCSF. We study how the brain communicates with the rest of the body, focusing on regions around the brain ventricles that are uniquely positioned to interact with both the vasculature and cerebrospinal fluid.
