The Carbone Lab at Oregon Health & Science University is seeking a highly motivated and skilled junior Postdoctoral Scholar to join our team. This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in both experimental and computational research, with the goal of uncovering how human-specific 3D genome organization and chromatin architecture influence human brain development and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of evolutionary (epi)genomics and neuroscience, helping to decipher mechanisms that are uniquely human.
The successful candidate will collaborate closely with molecular biology research staff and work under the guidance of the Principal Investigator and a staff scientist.
Key responsibilities include:
Additional responsibilities include contributing to manuscript writing, presenting findings at scientific conferences, and mentoring junior staff. In addition to the main project, the postdoc will contribute to other ongoing lab projects with similar research scope, offering a broad exposure to epigenomic research. Finally, there is the possibility to contribute to the KCVI Epigenetics consortium, which provides wet/dry research services to investigators across different research areas (cardiovascular, cancer, aging, etc.).
The Carbone lab is part of The Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI). KCVI is recognized as a top integrated center for cardiovascular clinical care, translational research, and professional training in all aspects of heart and vascular disease. Guided by a multi-disciplinary approach, researchers and clinicians drive a vibrant translational research program, which focuses on delivering the latest knowledge and cutting-edge care to patients. Specifically, research at KCVI seeks to improve patient outcomes by achieving earlier diagnosis of disease, more accurate monitoring of its progression, and tailoring therapy to the molecular basis of disease.
