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). We are particularly interested in candidates who have backgrounds in neurobiology, heart development or germ-line development although we will be delighted to consider motivated candidates in the broader field of developmental, stem cell and molecular biology.

COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement
Caltech has implemented a mandatory vaccination policy effective October 15, 2021, requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for all employees (with Institute-approved exemptions for religious or medical contraindications only). At present, an individual is deemed "fully vaccinated" when that person has received, at least 14 days prior, either the second dose in a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series (e.g., Pfizer or Moderna) or a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine (e.g., Johnson & Johnson). Upon eligibility, employees are required to receive the COVID-19 booster as part of the vaccine mandate. As a condition of employment, employees must submit official COVID-19 vaccine documentation.
