About this position
Stanford University’s Office of Postdoctoral Affairs is advertising an open postdoctoral position in the Corso-Díaz lab within the Department of Ophthalmology. The project focuses on the molecular mechanisms that govern genome activity and organization in retinal neurons, with an emphasis on chromatin dynamics during aging and retinal degeneration.
This opportunity sits at the intersection of RNA biology, genomics, and neuroscience. The successful candidate will study the role of RNA and RNA-binding proteins in regulating genome activity and organization, and will gain experience with high-throughput sequencing, functional genomics, advanced imaging, and electrophysiology.
The position is suitable for a junior postdoctoral researcher with training in cellular and molecular biology, genetics, neuroscience, or related fields. Preference is given to applicants with experience in retina or brain biology, gene regulation, or computational biology. Applicants must hold a PhD obtained within the last year, and should have a record of independent and collaborative research plus excellent organizational and planning skills.
The appointment is for an initial one-year term, with the possibility of renewal for an additional 1–2 years by mutual agreement. The post is located at Stanford University in the United States, and the expected base pay is the Stanford University required minimum for postdoctoral scholars (FY27 minimum: $79,056).
To apply, email Dr. Ximena Corso-Díaz at [email protected] with a CV, a cover letter outlining your research interests, career goals, and specific qualifications, and the contact details for three professional references.
