The Square Lab is seeking a postdoctoral associate to join our research group. The candidate will have the opportunity to contribute to research projects focused on understanding fundamental developmental biology principles using fish models (zebrafish and stickleback fish). Our current funding is focused on understanding the cell signaling events and genetic cascades that control the differentiation of skeletons and teeth. We use loss-of-function and gain-of-function to assess both the required functions and capabilities of developmental regulators implicated in the formation of the skeleton. More information about the lab and research can be found at the lab website: www.tylersquare.net. Additional responsibilities will include: training graduate and undergraduate students, disseminating results by writing papers and presenting at conferences, and assisting with fish room maintenance.

Qualified candidates must hold (or be expected to hold by their start date) a PhD or equivalent degree in biology or a relevant subfield. Proficiency in embryology, genetics, microscopy, live imaging, and molecular biology techniques is strongly preferred. It is additionally expected that the selected candidate will take the lead in applying for their own fellowship funding. This position will be initially awarded for one year and can be renewed contingent upon performance.
