The Epigenomics of Metabolic Diseases Laboratory at the Department of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and Division of Endocrinology at Mayo Clinic is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows who are interested in investigating the fundamental mechanisms and therapeutic development of diabetes and metabolic diseases. Our laboratory focuses on creating novel models to study diabetes and metabolism, and to identify therapeutic targets in diabetes, with a focus on islet biology and epigenetic regulation ( ). Research directions include using mouse models, human tissues, and organoids to investigate the epigenomic regulation of cellular dysfunction in diabetes and metabolic diseases, and understanding the fundamental mechanisms in transcription and chromatin biology.
Position Description:
NIH funding-supported post-doctoral position is available for individuals interested in metabolism, epigenetics, and/or stem cell biology. Research projects include the characterization of novel phenotypes in mouse models, integration of multi-omics (transcriptomic and epigenomic) datasets to investigate fundamental mechanisms of obesity and metabolic diseases, and exploring the therapeutic potential of basic discoveries. Experience in diabetes mouse models, epigenetics, and/or bioinformatics is preferred but not required. Candidate should enjoy working independently in a collaborative setting. Successful candidates will have or are in the final stages of completing a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or M.D.), a track record of productivity with peer-reviewed publications, and excellent communication skills. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV and contact information of 2-3 references to Zong Wei, Ph.D. at [email protected].
Qualifications
Must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent doctoral degree in a field deemed relevant by the program.
