Zhao Zhang

The Zhang Lab at UT Southwestern Medical Center is seeking Postdoctoral Researchers to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease. The lab employs a phenotype-first mouse genetics approach, starting with the generation of metabolic mutants, identifying causative genes, and elucidating new biological pathways. This research is situated at the intersection of molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology, with a strong emphasis on understanding disease mechanisms at the genetic and molecular levels. UT Southwestern Medical Center is a leading research institution located in Dallas, Texas, offering a vibrant scientific community and state-of-the-art facilities. The Zhang Lab is part of the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, providing a collaborative environment for cutting-edge research in metabolic disease. Ideal candidates will have a PhD in biology, biochemistry, cell biology, or a related discipline, with experience in mouse genetics and molecular biology techniques. The position offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to impactful research in metabolic disease and to develop advanced skills in genetics and molecular biology. Funding details are not specified in the announcement, so applicants are encouraged to inquire directly with the lab. To apply, interested individuals should contact Zhao Zhang or refer to the LinkedIn post for further information. Sharing or introductions of suitable candidates are also welcomed.
