About this position
Amro Hamdoun’s lab at the University of California San Diego is hiring for two research roles connected to marine developmental biology, genome engineering, and environmental health sciences.
1) NSURC Staff Scientist/Genome Engineer: This role will lead genome engineering and technology development for the National Sea Urchin Resource Center. The work includes molecular biology, transgenesis, construct design, delivery methods, embryo and larval culture, founder screening, stable line maintenance, high-throughput screening, mariculture, cryopreservation, husbandry workflows, protocol development, user training, troubleshooting, and outreach to the broader scientific community.
2) Postdoctoral Researcher: The postdoc will work with Lytechinus pictus and may develop an independent research program in areas such as human disease pathways, environmental influences on development, genetic/imaging/computational pipelines, and discovery-oriented marine biology. The lab emphasizes ecological developmental biology and environmental health sciences, with connections to the Scripps Center for Oceans and Human Health and the Allen Discovery Center for Neurobiology in Changing Environments.
This is a strong fit for candidates interested in developmental biology, genome engineering, marine biology, environmental science, computational biology, and related tool-building or model-organism research. The post does not list a deadline yet; official job postings will be available soon.
To express interest, email a CV, a brief statement of interest, and the names of three references to [email protected]. More information is available on hamdounlab.org and nsurc.ucsd.edu.

What's required
For the postdoctoral role, the lab seeks an ambitious, innovative, and highly motivated scientist with a vision for an independent research program using Lytechinus pictus. The postdoc should be interested in genetics, high-throughput toxicology and imaging, computational approaches, and discovery pipelines, with potential directions including human disease pathways and environmental influences on development. For the staff scientist role, experience in molecular biology, transgenesis, animal culture, genome editing, construct building, delivery methods, screening, stable line maintenance, mariculture, cryopreservation, husbandry, protocol development, training, and troubleshooting is relevant.
How to apply
Send a CV, a brief statement of interest, and the names of three references to [email protected]. The poster notes that official job postings will be available soon and invites interested candidates to contact them in the meantime.
