Postdoctoral Position– Reproductive Genomics Postdoctoral Position– Reproductive Genomics

Location : United States Job Posted Date : July 11, 2024 Postdoc Positions Population : Global Health, Life Sciences, Population & Social Sciences, Other A postdoctoral position is available to study the genomics of leiomyoma formation (uterine tumors, fibroids) and non-invasive diagnostics. The laboratory utilizes transgenic animals that model Med12 mutation, known to associate with 70% of human leiomyomas, to study the origin of leiomyomas, genomic rearrangements, epigenomics, and cell types. Moreover, the laboratory is also analyzing human leiomyomas for cellular heterogeneity and non-invasive diagnostics. The laboratory utilizes molecular and cellular biological techniques, whole exome and genome sequencing, chromosomal microarrays, CRISPR-generated humanized mouse animal models, and targeted knockouts. The candidate will also be exposed to human and animal experimentation. Job Requirements: Candidates should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, or related fields; experience with the reproductive tract is preferred but not essential. Experience with transgenic mouse models and basic molecular biology techniques are desirable. UCSF, School of Medicine Department of Pathology
