Our lab’s goal is to gain deeper understanding of the function of enhancers in placenta and skeletal development, diseases, and evolution through mouse in vivo functional characterization, such as in vivo Massively Parallel Reporter Assays (MPRAs) supported by NHGRI K99/R00. We are seeking motivated and enthusiastic lab members interested in the following research topics:
- Preeclampsia and abnormal pregnancies
- Craniofacial birth defects
- Tooth injury repair
- Bat wing development
Washington University in St. Louis ranks among the top 5 institutions in the US for Genetics/Genomics according to US News. Washington University has played a pivotal role in the Human Genome Project and continues to be at the forefront of genomics research in the United States. We are seeking passionate postdoctoral researchers to join our team, supported by robust startup support from the department and access to state-of-the-art core facilities and services.
We are looking to fill the following positions:
Postdoctoral Researcher in Mouse Genetics: The ideal candidate will have experience in mouse genetics, including genetic manipulation and/or phenotypic analysis.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Genomics: We are seeking a candidate with expertise in genomics, either wet lab techniques or dry lab skills (e.g., bioinformatics, statistics), or both.
We encourage applications from highly motivated individuals in related life science fields. Fellowships are not a requirement for application or employment, but we actively support and encourage fellowship and grant applications.
