Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology, University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at the Yang Chai laboratory at the Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.

Our lab is interested in the regulation of developmental patterning, organogenesis, stem cells and regenerative medicine. Our studies will seek to define molecular mechanisms governing both normal and abnormal craniofacial development, providing scientific rationales for future therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat craniofacial birth defects, as well as stem cell based craniofacial regenerative medicine.


Qualifications: The candidate must have a PhD and be experienced with molecular and developmental biology. This position is supported by the NIDCR, NIH.

To Apply: Please send your CV and three letters of recommendation to Yang Chai (c/o Ms. Linda Hattemer at lhatteme{at}usc.edu). EOE/AA

Tenure-Track Faculty Position, RNA Therapeutics Institute

The RNA Therapeutics Institute (RTI) at the University of Massachusetts Medical School invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position. Successful candidates will conduct innovative research to understand normal physiology and development, probe disease mechanisms, or develop novel diagnostics or therapies. Candidates need not necessarily conduct research directly focused on RNA biology or development of RNA therapeutics, but should indicate how their research will synergize with ongoing research within the RTI and the greater UMass Medical School community.

Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: (1) genetics, biochemistry, and biophysics in model and non-model organisms, (2) human genetics and pathophysiology, (3) structural biology, (4) chemical biology, and (5) use of nucleic acids for diagnosis or therapy. Physician scientists, synthetic chemists, materials scientists, computational researchers, bioengineers, geneticists, cell and molecular biologists, biochemists, and biophysicists are all encouraged to apply. Also desired are scientists with significant industrial experience who wish to return to academia.

The RTI is housed in a state-of-the-art research building, and is central to a campus-wide interdisciplinary initiative in RNA therapeutics and gene therapy designed to facilitate collaboration among basic scientists, preclinical investigators, and clinicians. As a recipient of a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the NIH, UMass Medical School seeks to build an environment in which basic, applied, and clinical researchers collaborate to inform our understanding of human disease and accelerate development of novel diagnostics and therapies.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, one-page description of your current research, two-page description of future research plans, and contact information for three references to http://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/14272.

Applications will be reviewed expeditiously, with interviews commencing in January. Inquiries (but not application materials) may be directed to Tiffanie Gardner at Tiffanie.Gardner{at}umassmed.edu. Applications at the Assistant, Associate, and Full Professor levels will be considered. The position will remain open until filled.

As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, UMMS recognizes the power of a diverse community and encourages applications from individuals with varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.

Genomics of Developmental Disorders

A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Aravinda Chakravarti, PhD, at NYU Langone’s Center for Human Genetics and Genomics. The Chakravarti Lab focuses on the molecular genetic basis of human disease, using experimental, quantitative, and animal model approaches. A major project is on the genetic and functional dissection of Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR), a multifactorial disorder of the enteric nervous system resulting from failure of intestinal innervation. Given our extensive gene discovery in HSCR we are now interested in the developmental mechanisms that are compromised in HSCR and, in turn, how normal innervation occurs.

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD and/or an MD in genetics or developmental biology and have some experience in genomics and computation; knowledge of human genetics is a plus. We are looking for a creative individual with a strong publication record and advanced expertise in experimental studies.

To apply or to obtain more information about the position, please contact Dr. Chakravarti at aravinda.chakravarti{at}nyulangone.org. Applicants should include a CV, a one-page research statement, and the names of three references.

U Langone Medical Center is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer committed to diversity and inclusion in all aspects of recruiting and employment. All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration without regard to race, color, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, religion, creed, disability, military and veteran status, genetic information or any other factor which cannot lawfully be used as a basis for an employment decision
