Postdoctoral Scholar in Oral Health Sciences, Dentistry, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry

The Department of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar position in the Cornell Lab. The successful candidate will contribute to funded research projects investigating the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying orofacial clefts using zebrafish models, human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and single-cell multiomics. Responsibilities include conducting functional tests of human gene variants, engineering non-coding variants in iPSCs, analyzing transcriptional regulatory networks, and leading manuscript preparation. The position offers a supportive and collaborative research environment, opportunities for career development, and participation in grant writing. Candidates should have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant field, a strong publication record, and experience in molecular biology, genetics, or biochemistry. Bioinformatics experience is desirable.
