Postdoc Position in Gene Regulation and Nuclear Organization

National Institutes of Health

Bethesda, MD

Posted 8/20/2025

Who we are:

Our lab studies how genome folding not only fits DNA within the constraints of the nuclear space but also is used as a critical mechanism of gene regulation. While centered on embryogenesis, our work sheds light on how cell type-specific transcriptional programs are established, with broad implications for cell fate decisions in other disease contexts such as cancer.

With more than 1,000 labs, NIH offers unique collaborative opportunities and world-experts from all fields of biomedical science, combined with core facilities equipped with the most cutting-edge technology. The lab is in Bethesda, Maryland, which offers an affordable suburban lifestyle with access to excellent public schools. It is also just 15 minutes away by Metro from downtown Washington D.C., a vibrant city with vast cultural offerings, such as international restaurants, museums, art galleries, concert venues, and much more to explore.

Postdoctoral positions at NIH are fully funded. Postdocs will be able to start their own research program or lead ongoing projects.

How to apply:

We are looking for people who share our enthusiasm for gene regulation, nuclear organization, and mouse development. Ph.D.

-level experience in at least one of the following is required: mouse development, mouse genetics, epigenetics, massively parallel sequencing-based techniques, or computational biology.

Please write a 2-paragraph cover letter explaining your scientific trajectory and why you would like to join us. Send it, together with your CV and contacts for 3 references, to [email protected] .
