Postdoctoral Position - Boston University

    Postdoctoral position is available in the Cifuentes laboratory at Boston University for talented and extremely motivated candidates willing to address fundamental questions of embryonic reprogramimng using zebrafish as a model system.

 The long-term goal of the laboratory is to understand how post-transcriptional regulation of RNA and proteins orchestrates vertebrate embryogenesis and how these mechanisms can be extrapolated to other biological transitions such as cellular reprogramming or malignant transformation.

To address this goal, the lab combines the use of zebrafish microinjection together with powerful genetic, genomic, and proteomic approaches.

We are located in the recently renovated Department of Biochemistry at Boston University Medical Campus, with close access to scientific core facilities and services and immersed in the lively city of Boston.

Candidates should have a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree and at least a first author publication. Previous experience in molecular biology will be a plus, but even more important is their motivation to learn and adapt to scientific challenges and become positive members of the lab. Salary will be commensurate with experience and follow the institutional guidelines.
