Job Description

We welcome applications for a postdoctoral fellow position at the University of Colorado Boulder. The postdoctoral fellow will join a highly collaborative and supportive group to participate in two cell biology projects: 1) the mechanisms of exocytosis and endocytosis related to metabolism and type 2 diabetes, and 2) the functions and mechanisms of extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes) related to neuronal signaling and Alzheimer’s disease. Our primary experimental approaches include mammalian cell culture, CRISPR genetic screens, and mouse models.

The postdoctoral fellow will receive a competitive salary and a comprehensive package of benefits, including medical insurance, dental insurance, and retirement funds. The university sponsors H1 and J1 visas for international scholars. The University of Colorado Boulder is one of the top comprehensive research universities in the United States (with four Nobel Laureates on faculty) and ranks in the top 12 for federal funding. Located at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boulder is regarded as one of the best places to live in the U.S.A., offering outstanding outdoor activities such as skiing, biking, and mountain hiking.

Requirements: A Ph.D. degree (or expected) in biological sciences or related disciplines is required. Experience in mammalian cell culture is required. Priority will be given to applicants with at least one first-author publication.
