Postdoctoral positions: Dr. Baker's Lab- Cell Competition and Ribosomal Signaling | University of California Irvine - Military Veterans

University of California Irvine Postdoctoral positions: Dr. Baker's Lab- Cell Competition and Ribosomal Signaling Postdoctoral positions are available in Nick Baker's lab in the Departments of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, and of Developmental and Cell Biology, at the University of California, Irvine. The laboratory has wide interests in developmental signaling and has published studies using both Drosophila and mice. Current interests are in the molecular effects of ribosome biogenesis defects, cell competition between cells of different fitness, cell competition's role in the elimination of aneuploid cells, and the origins of cancer from chromosome and ribosome defects and failures of cell competition. Research in the Baker lab is supported by three recent NIH grants. Our research employs a mixture of in vivo molecular genetics, imaging and manipulations of developing Drosophila and mouse tissues, cell culture, single cell sequencing and profiling methods, and in vitro molecular biology. Expertise in any these areas is desirable, but self-motivation and independence are more important. This initial appointment is for two years. Salary will be commensurate with experience and University guidelines. A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field and a record of published or accepted peer-reviewed research articles appropriate for career stage are expected. To apply, please visit the UCI recruit link https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09053 with a CV, the names of references, and a cover letter outlining your interests in this research. We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to promoting diversity and inclusive excellence in the academic community. Recruitment fellowships may be available to competitive candidates from backgrounds that are underrepresented in biomedical sciences ( https://inclusion.bio.uci.edu/funding/diversity-postdoctoral-fellowships ). UCI is an HSI, an AANAPISI, and a charter member of the AAAS SEA-Change initiative that supports institutional efforts to increase access and success for students, faculty and staff from groups that have been marginalized in STEM ( https://inclusion.uci.edu/action-plan/msi/uci-sea-change ).
