A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Wolfram Goessling to study liver development and regeneration.

The laboratory is investigating the mechanisms that control specification and growth of hepatic progenitor cells using the zebrafish model system. Additionally, we examine the role of these pathways in regulating liver growth and repair following surgical or toxic injury using zebrafish and murine models. Currently, several projects originating from both large scale chemical and genetic screens are available for study. For more information on our ongoing research see the HSCI website or our laboratory website:

The successful candidate must have an MD and/or PhD or equivalent and should have demonstrated experience in zebrafish genetics, developmental biology, stem cell biology, and/or a prior focus in liver development, regeneration and cancer.
To apply for this position, please submit a cover letter, CV and 3 references to:
