Post-Doctoral Fellow* Applications are accepted electronically ONLY at www.cu.edu/cu-careers *The University of Colorado has a requirement for COVID-19 vaccinations and full completion thereof by 9/1/21 or upon start date. Information regarding this requirement, and exemptions can be found at:Anschutz: https://www.ucdenver.edu/docs/librariesprovider284/default-document-library/3000-general-admission/3012---covid-19-vaccination-requirement-and-compliance.pdf?sfvrsn=4e9df3ba_2Denver: https://www.ucdenver.edu/coronavirusExemptions vary by campus location/department. Campus/Unit-Specific Exemptions:
The research in the Schwartz/Yang Lab focuses on understanding how environmental stimuli affect health through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. State-of-the-art techniques, including next generation sequencing, CRISPR genome editing, and transgenic animal models are used to accomplish these goals. We are looking for an individual interested in developing skills in functional genomics. This individual will work on projects that use animal and cell models to delineate the function of human genetic variants associated with pulmonary fibrosis. This individual will work under joint mentorship of Drs. David Schwartz and Ivana Yang.Areas of Responsibility / Scope of Research
This individual will primarily use CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-dCas9 tools to introduce genetic variants and manipulate expression of relevant genes in primary cell models of lung fibrosis. Work on other related projects on functional role of pulmonary fibrosis genetic variants will also be included.Competencies & Skills:
