The Division of Dermatology in the Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is seeking applicants for a full-time, postdoctoral position. The candidate will conduct research in the laboratory of Dr. Amy Vandiver.

• Design, execute and analyze experiments for manuscript preparation

  conferences
• Participate in multidisciplinary research collaborations

This research opportunity is centered upon interrogating the role of acquired genomic damage in tissue aging and age-related pathology.  The Vandiver lab uses emerging genomic technology, induced pluripotent cells and in vitro skin culture to test the impact of acquired mitochondrial genome mutations on cell function, particularly in the context of aging and age-related pathology.  We are seeking a dedicated individual who is driven by curiosity and excitement to join our growing team.  The position is supported by funding from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund and UCLA Start-up funding.  Candidates with a background in genomic data analysis, stem cell biology, metabolism, and/or related disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply.
