About this position
Stanford University is advertising an open Postdoctoral Scholar position in the laboratory of Dr. Sohail Husain within the Stanford Pediatric Exocrine Pancreas Program.
The project focuses on the mechanistic role of vitamin A and retinoid metabolites in acute and severe pancreatitis. The successful candidate will work on multidisciplinary research that combines animal models, single-cell transcriptomics, and translational human cohort studies to understand how retinoid signaling affects pancreatic inflammation and tissue injury.
This position is based at Stanford University in the United States. It is a full-time postdoctoral appointment for 1 year with the possibility of extension depending on performance and funding. The expected base pay is the Stanford minimum for FY27: $79,056.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD or MD and have strong training in retinoid biology, vitamin A metabolism, nuclear receptor signaling, or closely related areas. A background in molecular and cellular biology, animal models, or relevant omics methods is required. Preferred experience includes single-cell high-throughput methods, metabolomics, or lipidomics, plus interest in translational research and pancreatitis/inflammation biology.
How to apply: submit a CV, cover letter, research statement, and three references. Materials should be addressed to Dr. Sohail Husain and sent electronically to Dr. Olivia Tsai at [email protected].
Application link: the opportunity is listed on Stanford’s Postdoctoral Affairs site, with the lab website also provided for more information.
