Summary

The postdoctoral associate will be in charge of their own research project that is relevant to the lab's studies on maternal diabetes, pancreatic cancer, and/or neural tube defects. This will likely be an offshoot of an extant lab member's project. They will work heavily with mice and/or cells, sequencing, bioinformatics, and microscopy, but in general will be independent in choosing the methods by which to perform their experiments. They will report weekly to the P.I. and about once a month to the lab on their progress towards their research goal(s).
