2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Kim lab is dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor cell behavior in glioblastoma, a malignant brain tumor that is almost invariably fatal. Using my scientific training as a molecular neurobiologist and my experience as a board-certified brain tumor neurosurgeon, I have acquired expertise in generating and utilizing patient-derived primary glioblastoma cell lines, CRISPR/Cas9-based tumor models in human neural stem cells, and immunocompetent murine models for mechanistic and translational studies through multidisciplinary approaches—from genetics and biochemistry to cell biology and preclinical in vivo orthotopic models.

3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Ushiki lab will start in January 2025 at the Department of Genetics at Washington University in St. Louis. Our lab aims to gain a deeper understanding of the function of enhancers in placenta and skeletal development, diseases, and evolution. We employ in vivo functional characterization techniques, such as in vivo Massively Parallel Reporter Assays (MPRAs), supported by an NHGRI K99/R00 grant. Our research integrates mouse developmental biology, functional genomics, and human genetics to elucidate how genetic variation in non-coding regions leads to abnormal placental or craniofacial development.

14. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Dr. David Wang focused on RNA bacteriophage biology. RNA bacteriophages have been largely ignored by the scientific community and little is known about their diversity, their hosts, their impact on the microbiome, how they are sensed or how bacteria defend against them. We discovered a massive expansion of novel RNA bacteriophage in virome studies (e.g., Krishnamurthy et al., PLOS Biology 2016). In addition, we hypothesize that a taxon of viruses commonly found in enteric viromes, the picobirnaviruses, are actually the 3rd known family of RNA bacteriophages (Krishnamurthy et al., Virology 2018) rather than eukaryotic viruses.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
15. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Wang lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study lens development and cataract formation, as well as tear gland development and dry eye disease. Dr. Wang’s lab uses mouse models to investigate signaling networks underlying eye development and the mechanisms of ocular diseases. We use a combination of techniques including mouse genetics, imaging, cell/molecular biology techniques, and computational/bioinformatic analysis. We are also actively exploring the collaboration with clinicians to conduct research with human eye specimens.
