Epigenetic and molecular mechanisms of metabolism – Dr. Sona Kang Lab, UC Berkeley

Dive into the intricacies of metabolic regulation by joining the esteemed laboratory of Dr. Sona Kang at the Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology, UC Berkeley. We are actively recruiting a post-doctoral research fellow to contribute to cutting-edge research elucidating the epigenetic and molecular intricacies governing metabolic dysregulation, with a primary focus on identifying therapeutic targets for obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Our lab seeks a highly skilled individual with expertise in molecular and cell biology, metabolic phenotyping of mouse models, and genome-wide profiling studies. The successful candidate will lead projects investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) and/or will implement a CRISPR screening project related to adipose metabolism. Elevate your scientific career by applying your expertise to unravel the mysteries of metabolic disorders. Learn more about our research: https://nst.berkeley.edu/users/sona-kang.

Qualifications:

We are seeking self-motivated and talented applicants with the ability to think critically and excellent interpersonal communication skills.

For post-doc candidate: The successful candidate will lead project(s) requiring technical expertise, such as metabolic characterization of mouse models, cell culture studies, and/or biochemical and molecular studies. Applicants who has expertise in one of the following areas are desirable: molecular and cell biology, metabolic phenotyping of mouse models, and genome-wide profiling studies.

One of the new projects involves investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and CRISPR screening. Individuals with experience in liver biology  and CRISPR screening are highly encouraged to apply.

PhD students who are expected to graduate are strongly encouraged to apply for this position.

For technician (research associate) candidate: Those who have a minimum one year of research experience with bachelor or master degree are welcome to apply for technician (research associate) position at Kang Lab.
