We are looking for multiple postdoctoral fellows with experimental, computational, or interdisciplinary backgrounds to study vertebrate aging and developmental diapause in the African killifish. Current projects involve researching the genomic underpinnings of metabolism during suspended animation and aging in killifish, genomic basis of longevity differences across species, and conserved mechanisms of cognitive decline and brain aging. Our lab uses a combination of approaches, including single-cell and bulk ‘omics’ technologies, CRISPR-based perturbations, computational modeling, and machine learning.

Successful candidates for postdoctoral positions are expected to have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, genomics, computational biology or a related field with a strong publication record. They should be ambitious, highly motivated, collaborative, and able to conduct independent research. Our laboratory fosters a dynamic and collaborative environment and is a part of the wider communities UCSF offers, including the Bakar Aging Research Institute (BARI), and the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute (BCHSI).

If interested, please send a CV with the contact information of three references and a cover letter describing research background, interests, and future plans to Param.
