The inner ear has a lot to offer as a developmental system including but not limited to cell fate decisions, morphogenesis, axonal guidance, and PCP. Lately, we are obsessed about how Emx2, a transcription factor, regulates hair bundle orientation on top of sensory hair cells. We also want to know how Emx2 expressed in sensory hair cells regulates the selection of neurons that innervate them. Our model systems are mouse and zebrafish and sometimes chicken as well.

Post doctoral position at Minneapolis, MN, USA
Department of Genetics, University of Minnesota
A 2-3 year post-doctoral position is available at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Our lab is interested in molecular mechanisms that regulate two types of embryonic progenitor populations. One is “limb progenitors” which are specified from a small group of cells in the lateral plate mesoderm and will undergo patterning and morphogenesis to form functional limbs. The other is bi-potential neuromesodermal progenitors that fuel body elongation and contribute to both the neural tube and somite in post-gastrulation embryos. We use mice and zebrafish to study molecular, cellular and genetic mechanisms that regulate these progenitors for normal body development.

We are looking for a smart and self-motivated person. We have recently generated transgenic and CRISPR mutant zebrafish lines, so experience in the zebrafish system and imaging is preferred. The salary is determined by the University’s pay system and the position will also provide benefits (e.g. health insurance) through the University.

Our laboratory is located in the Developmental Biology Center, and has close interaction with laboratories in the Stem Cell Institute at the University of Minnesota. Interaction with other groups within the University will also be available, and could allow for assistance with projects that extend beyond our lab’s main area of focus.
