About The Position
A postdoctoral training position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Haiqi Chen in the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences at UT Southwestern Medical Center to study gene regulation using the mammalian reproductive organs as model systems. Our laboratory has several exciting projects related to two major themes. (1) We develop next-generation spatial and functional genomics technologies broadly applicable to studying gene regulation/functions in various biological systems in situ by combining techniques such as gene editing, high-resolution single-molecule imaging, and next-generation sequencing (NGS); (2) We apply these cutting-edge technologies, along with data science approaches to study mammalian reproduction, fertility, and transgenerational inheritance. Postdoctoral scholars will work at the intersection of reproductive biology, genetics/genomics, and bioinformatics, and will have ample opportunities to learn and build upon the latest methods in spatial transcriptomics and epigenomics, single-cell sequencing, genome engineering, and various functional assays. Information on our postdoctoral training program, benefits, and a virtual tour can be found at http://www.utsouthwestern.edu/postdocs
Requirements
