The Robinson Laboratory at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Parnassus Campus, is looking to hire a full-time, highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to work on a NIEHS-funded research project aimed at understanding how environmental chemicals alter early mammalian embryogenesis and contribute to birth defects.
He/she will have the opportunity to gain expertise in the areas of developmental biology/toxicology and environmental health as well as hands-on experience in rodent embryo and human cell/tissue culture, single cell transcriptomics analysis and functional genomic approaches.
He/she will be expected to independently design and perform experiments, complete project objectives, lead writing of manuscripts, and serve as a mentor to trainees.
The postdoctoral candidate will have opportunities to interact with external project collaborators and diverse scientists and clinicians in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, Center for Reproductive Sciences, Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment and EaRTH Center at UCSF.
Applicants from a variety of backgrounds are encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will possess a doctoral degree in toxicology, molecular and cellular biology, bioinformatics, or a relevant field. Experience working in the areas of embryology, cell culture, and/or genomics is strongly preferred. Candidates with working knowledge of bioinformatic languages (e.g., R, Python), excellent writing abilities and strong communications skills are highly desired.
To apply, please apply via LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3323237514/) or send an email directly to Dr. Robinson ([email protected]) with a brief statement regarding your research interests, a recent CV, and contact information for three references. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will continue until the position is filled.
