Job Description

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” to: rong.wang@ucsf.edu.
