Postdoctoral Positions

Several postdoctoral researcher positions are available in Dr. Xin Chen’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. We are interested in how epigenetic mechanisms regulate cell fate determination, maintenance and change during development, homeostasis and disease in multicellular organisms. We use several model organisms, including Drosophila , C. elegans and mouse, and apply interdisciplinary approaches using genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, genomics and biophysics approaches. Details of our research can be found at: https://bio.jhu.edu/directory/xin-chen/ and https://www.hhmi.org/scientists/xin-chen. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, or related areas. The candidate who has biophysics, bioinformatics, or systems biology background will be a plus. The candidate is expected to have good communication and scientific writing skills.

Salary and benefit are commensurate with research experience and accomplishments.

For interested candidates, please send your curriculum vitae and contact information of three referees to Dr. Xin Chen by email at xchen32@jhu.edu.
