We are seeking outstanding candidates to lead a project studying signaling pathways, such as Notch, BMP, and ephrin, in arterial venous programming, vascular regeneration, and vascular diseases. We take a conditional mouse genetic approach to manipulating gene expression in a cell lineage specific and temporally controlled fashion, along with in vivo fluorescence reporters. We use cutting-edge imaging technologies, e. g. in vivo 5D real time imaging technologies with an in-lab constructed two-photon microscope, which provides exceptional access to gene function in vivo at the cellular resolution (3D structure and blood flow, overtime). We also use Light Sheet Imaging/iDISCO/computational analysis and Spatial Transcriptomics. The laboratory is well equipped, and UCSF offers amazing capabilities, at the organismic, cellular, and molecular levels. We are interested in a recent Ph.D. with a strong motivation and an outstanding publication record to join our team to make innovative breakthroughs in a highly rewarding project. Funding is available for this position. We also have an excellent track record in sponsoring postdoc fellowships. Candidates who desire to gain expertise in imaging, mouse models of strokes, and microsurgeries, are welcome to apply. UCSF offers attractive salary/benefit and outstanding postdoctoral career development opportunities. Please submit your CV, research interests, and the names of three references by email with a subject postdoc application .
