About UCSF
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a leading university dedicated to advancing health worldwide through biomedical research, graduate education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care.
Job Overview
The Chuang Laboratory at UCSF is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to investigate the molecular mechanisms of lung development, tissue repair and regeneration, and lung cancer.
Our laboratory has a long-standing interest in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying lung development, repair/regeneration, and tumorigenesis. These studies aim to establish the foundation for treating human diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer.
Using both mouse models and human lung tissues, we combine mouse genetics, cell biology, genomic analysis, CRISPR technology, proteomics, and lung organoid systems to address fundamental questions in alveolar formation and repair, as well as the pathogenesis of lung cancer. Our research program seeks to translate fundamental biological discoveries into improved therapies for human disease.
Required Qualifications
- PhD, MD, or equivalent degree
