Experienced Molecular Biologist for Postdoctoral / Senior Scientist Position
Myogenic and Adipogenic Stem Cells in Skeletal Muscle
The role of Klotho genes
University of Washington, Seattle
Yablonka-Reuveni lab
Postdoctoral / Senior Scientist position, is available to join a multidisciplinary research effort that focuses on skeletal muscle stem cells at the cellular and molecular level. Our research aims to contribute novel insights for combating muscle deterioration associated with aging, muscular dystrophies and metabolic disorders.
The investigator recruited to this position will focus on the role of several regulatory genes in the interplay between myogenesis and adipogenesis in skeletal muscle. Genes of interest include Klotho and FGFR family members.
Applicants must have an established experience in gene cloning and overexpression/knockdown methodologies. Experience with viral-based construct design and construction of bicistronic vectors for reporter-based tracing of gene expression is preferred. Target cells will include cell lines and primary cells isolated from rodents.
Salary will be commensurate with experience. As a University of Washington employee, you would be eligible for University benefits including medical and dental plans, term life insurance coverage and a long-term disability plan.
