We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in the field of lung injury repair at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). Our research is focused on the regenerative capacity of epithelial stem/progenitor cells in the mouse and human lung after major injury (Vaughan et al Nature 517:621, 2015). The goals of this program are to identify the distal airway and alveolar epithelial stem cell subpopulations in mouse and human lungs and define the key signaling mechanisms that regulate their expansion and differentiation after injury. The project will utilize lineage tracing in vivo and single cell sequencing to characterize progenitors and in vivo transplantation to test progenitor cell function in models of regeneration. The impact of genetic risk factors for human lung disease on the biology of these cells is also a scientific and training opportunity for the right candidate. Qualified candidates should have experience in cell and molecular biology, and preferably in bioinformatics and/or stem cell methodology. Flow cytometry experience helpful but not required. Send cover letter and CV to hal.chapman@ucsf.edu. UCSF is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
