Position: PostDoc
The Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, at the University of California, Los Angeles invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Position. The laboratory is located within CHS under the direction of Dr. Mingxia Gu. Our research group is at the forefront of pioneering the next generation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived organoid models. We focus on creating organoids with precise cell types, architecture, and functions that closely mirror their in vivo counterparts. Our mission is to harness these advanced models to unravel the mysteries of early human development, enhance organ regeneration and repair, and develop precision medicine for patients with various cardiopulmonary disorders. Collaborating with developmental and stem cell biologists, data scientists, clinicians, bioengineers, and entrepreneurs, our team is united by the common goal of accelerating discovery and facilitating bench-to-bedside translational science. We are thrilled to share our novel findings with the scientific community, as showcased in recent publications in Cell Stem Cell (2020, 2021), Science Translational Medicine (2021), Circulation Research (2022), Nature Cardiovascular Research (2024), and Cell (2025).

Position: Postdoc trainee
The Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, at the University of California, Los Angeles invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Position. The laboratory is located within the Center for Health Sciences at UCLA under the direction of Dr. Massaly addressing topics related to pain, negative affect, and substance use disorders.
The Massaly Lab aims to elucidate how pain alters neuronal activity, how these changes influence the rewarding and aversive properties of stimuli, and how they contribute to vulnerability to substance use disorders. Our long-term goal is to identify novel mechanisms and therapeutic strategies to improve pain management. For additional information about our ongoing projects, we encourage you to go and visit www.massalylab.com.The Massaly Lab is seeking highly motivated, creative, and dedicated postdoctoral candidates with a strong background in pain, affective neuroscience, and/or substance use disorders who wish to build upon their prior research experience and contribute to a dynamic and collaborative research environment.
