Postdoctoral position available to study signaling regulation of tissue differentiation and regeneration in the Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California. Our research focuses on understanding protein methylation as novel signaling mechanisms in craniofacial and cardiac formation and regeneration. The projects will utilize multidisciplinary approaches including mouse genetics (transgenesis, mutants), confocal imaging, signaling analysis and biochemical methods.

Qualifications: The successful candidate must have a recent Ph.D. or M.D. degree, and is expected to be highly motivated.

The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology is part of the Ostrow School of Dentistry, which ranks 8th in the nation, with ample collaborations with the Norris Cancer Center, Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, and the Brain Center at Keck School of Medicine. The campus locates in the heart of Los Angeles, a city rich in diversity, culture and history.
Interested applicants should send a CV and references to Jian Xu, Ph.D. (jian.xu@ucsf.edu). Salary will be commensurate with relevant experience.
