About this position
The Yoshihara Laboratory at The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for interdisciplinary projects in endocrinology, metabolism, stem cell biology, animal physiology, and genomics.
The laboratory integrates stem cell-derived artificial human organs, cultured cells, genetically modified model mice, physiological analyses, and genomic approaches. Its research investigates ontogeny and metabolic homeostasis while addressing biomedical questions related to diabetes, neurological diseases, and developmental disorders.
Postdoctoral researchers will work collaboratively with supervisors and co-researchers on laboratory projects and contribute to a research environment supported by NIH, TRDRP, the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The laboratory is based at the Harbor-UCLA campus in Torrance and can also access UCLA research core facilities through the principal investigator’s UCLA appointment.
The role offers opportunities to develop expertise across molecular biology, genomics, stem cells, animal models, bioinformatics, immunology, epigenetics, stem-cell bioengineering, and materials engineering. Researchers will also mentor UCLA undergraduate students, participate in academic conferences, and contribute to peer-reviewed publications.
