About this position

The Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center at the Institute of Biosciences, University of São Paulo (USP), led by Prof. Dr. Mayana Zatz, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship focused on genetics and cell biology as applied to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and aging. The research project utilizes induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model disease and healthy aging, with a particular emphasis on elucidating cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying DMD and the aging process. The successful candidate will employ iPSC-derived cellular models, skeletal muscle differentiation protocols, and three-dimensional muscle tissue engineering to advance understanding in these areas. The position is part of a FAPESP Thematic Project and provides a competitive fellowship of R$ 12,570.00 per month, along with a technical reserve for research-related expenses. Applicants must have a PhD in Genetics or a related discipline and possess hands-on experience in iPSC reprogramming, skeletal muscle differentiation, cell-based functional assays, immunofluorescence, confocal microscopy, cell sorting, flow cytometry, quantitative PCR, and muscle tissue engineering. Proficiency in English and strong leadership and collaborative skills are essential. The fellowship is open to both Brazilian and international researchers. Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest and an updated CV to [email protected]. The application deadline is November 10, 2025, and the position is set to begin on December 1, 2025.
