Postdoc Opportunities in Developmental Biology in New Zealand

The Zenk Lab at EPFL’s NeuroNA Chair in Epigenomics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (EpiGN) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of single-cell genomics, machine learning, and developmental biology. The position focuses on integrating and analysing multi-modal single-cell datasets, including scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, scCUT&Tag, Hi-C, and proteomics, to study trajectory inference, regulatory dynamics, and cell fate decisions. A central aim is to u...

A postdoctoral research associate position is available at the Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California . The role is embedded in an NIH-funded laboratory and offers the opportunity to work with a diverse team of researchers and physicians in a highly collaborative biomedical environment. The project focuses on craniofacial biology , tissue regeneration , and cellular metabolism . The selected scholar will join Dr. Michael Paine’s research projects as ke...

A full-time research position is available in the Baugh lab in the Department of Biology at Duke University . The lab studies how nutrition shapes development and organismal physiology using the roundworm C. elegans as a model system. The Research Associate will join an active research team working on projects that examine the adult consequences of early life starvation and the nutritional control of gene expression. The role is research-intensive and sits within a lab environment focused on exp...

The Sparks Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms that guide early human pluripotent stem cell differentiation. The project centers on neural crest and mesoderm lineage specification and aims to define the intermediate cell states and regulatory mechanisms that shape these early developmental decisions. The scholar will work with human embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cell differentiation syst...

Postdoctoral Scholar positions are available throughout the year in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology at the University of California, Irvine. The positions are sponsored by faculty members in Developmental and Cell Biology within the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences. The role is part of a broad postdoctoral research environment rather than a single named project, giving selected scholars the opportunity to contribute to ongoing research across developmental and cellul...

The Cañestro Lab at the University of Barcelona is hiring for a newly granted 2026–2030 project in evolutionary developmental biology (EvoDevo) and genomics. The project offers a 4-year PhD contract. Postdoctoral researchers are also welcome to express interest. Research themes associated with the lab include gene loss, chordate and tunicate biology, Oikopleura, heart development, and ocean health. Applicants should review the project and joining information on the lab website for details about ...

The Roy Laboratory at the University of Maryland, College Park, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study fundamental mechanisms of intercellular communication and tissue organization, with emphasis on specialized signaling protrusions called cytonemes. The project combines Drosophila genetics , molecular and cell biology, advanced microscopy, and quantitative approaches to investigate how cells integrate biochemical signals and mechanical interactions to shape developing tissues. The opp...

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Xin Gu Laboratory , in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral research fellow in Boston, Massachusetts. The project focuses on fundamental mechanisms of protein turnover and protein homeostasis and their roles in physiology and disease. The interdisciplinary Gu Lab combines genetic screening, proteomics, mechanistic biochemistry, structural biology, and in vivo animal models. Research may investigate newly discovered cellu...

RIKEN’s Research Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research is recruiting one Researcher, Special Researcher/Postdoctoral Fellow, or Research Associate for the Physical Biology Research Team in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. The fixed-term position is available from April 1, 2027 or by consultation and will study fundamental principles governing cells and multicellular populations. The team combines mathematical science and life science to investigate order formation in living systems, including cellular pola...
