Postdoctoral Researcher in Developmental Biology

The Sugioka Lab at UBC invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher focusing on developmental cell biology. Collaborate on innovative projects using

C. elegans to explore cellular mechanisms of embryonic morphogenesis.

At the University of British Columbia, the chosen candidate will work under Dr. Kenji Sugioka, leading research on how actomyosin flow influences asymmetric division and developmental processes. This role requires a strong foundation in cell biology and the opportunity to develop independent research interests while mentoring undergraduate and graduate students. The collaborative setting encourages rich interaction with fellow researchers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate molecular mechanisms of cell division

• Utilize

C. elegans and live imaging for experimental studies

• Mentor junior researchers and facilitate collaboration

• Analyze data quantitatively and manage imaging tasks

• Contribute to research publications and presentations

Requirements:

• Ph.D. in Developmental Biology or related field

• In-depth knowledge of cell and developmental biology

• Familiarity with live imaging techniques and genetics

• Strong communication and teamwork skills

• Evidence of research productivity and writing excellence

Join a leading research group dedicated to understanding cell biology at UBC and seize the opportunity to shape the future of developmental research.
