Postdoctoral Fellow (Hepatocyte Cell Biology)

Our laboratory combines advanced microscopy (including intravital microscopy), mouse genetics, and multi-omics strategies to investigate the regulation of organelle dynamics in vivo. We aim to understand how tissue-level compartmentalization shapes liver physiology and pathological conditions such as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and liver cancer.

In particular, we are interested in how organelle-organelle interactions affect hepatic metabolism and how these interactions are remodeled in disease. The successful candidate will investigate organelle dynamics in healthy and diseased liver models using state-of-the-art imaging, quantitative image analysis, and complementary molecular approaches.

This position offers an opportunity to work at the interface of cell biology, metabolism, liver pathophysiology, and cutting-edge imaging in a collaborative and stimulating research environment.

Prospective candidates will have a PhD in cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, hepatology, or a related field, and a strong interest in liver biology, organelle biology, or advanced microscopy. Ideal candidates will be intellectually curious, independent, and enthusiastic about addressing fundamental questions in liver biology with relevance to metabolic disease and cancer.

Experience in microscopy, mouse models/animal work, image analysis, and/or omics-based approaches will be considered an advantage. A track record of successful publication is required.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply. NIH welcomes foreign nationals with the exception of individuals from this list. This position is subject to a background investigation.
