zebrafish postdoc
The Horne-Badovinac Lab at the University of Chicago is looking for a highly trained zebrafish researcher to join our team. We are interested in questions of how organs are formed and shaped during development, with specific emphases on the role of epithelial morphogenesis and cell-ECM interactions in this process. Our plan is to combine the best experimental attributes of the Drosophila and zebrafish systems in pursuit of our scientific goals. The Drosophila work is now well established in the lab and we are looking for an adventurous and independently minded individual to assist in bringing the zebrafish work online. The postdoctoral fellow will also have the opportunity to train in fly genetics and cell biology, should they wish to use both systems for their project. The University of Chicago provides a collegial and highly interactive environment with strong Drosophila and zebrafish communities on campus.If interested, please email a single PDF document containing information about your previous research experience and future research goals, your CV, and contact information for three references to Sally Horne-Badovinac. Alternatively, interested parties can also arrange to meet with me informally during the Fish Meeting in Madison to discuss potential projects in more detail.
