Post-doc positions are available in Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz' lab at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), USA. We are looking for post-doc candidates to join our lab to utilize multidisciplinary approaches to study cell fate, symmetry breaking and self-organization in mouse and human embryos and their stem cell models that we are building from embryonic and extraembryonic stem cells (Bedzhov and Zernicka-Goetz, Cell 2014; Harrison et al, Science 2017; Shahbazi et al, Nature, 2017; Sozen et al, Nature Cell Biology 2018; Hupalowska et al, Cell 2018; Bao et al, Nature Cell Biology 2022; Lau et al, Cell Stem Cell, 2022; Amadei et al, Nature 2022).
