Job Title: Postdoc at Hattie Chung Lab (Yale School of Medicine)

Job Number: 95117

Location: New Haven, US

Job Description

The Hattie Chung Lab at Yale School of Medicine seeks a highly driven and creative postdoc to investigate the dynamics of tissue remodeling in ovarian aging and cardiovascular disease. We seek scientists excited to work across disciplines—from machine learning to cutting-edge experimental techniques, applied to patient samples and mouse models—in a collaborative, supportive research environment.

Potential research areas include:

• Dissecting the role of the immune system in ovarian remodeling, and its dysregulation in aging and under metabolic dysfunction
• Investigating the effects of obesity and metabolic dysfunction on ovarian function
• Examining vascular disease from patient samples
• Testing therapeutic interventions for ovarian aging and cardiovascular disease

Mentoring & Development Opportunities

The Chung Lab is committed to fostering a supportive and collaborative training environment. The lab is located at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, CT, providing an exceptional environment for interdisciplinary research, collaboration, and mentorship. The selected candidate will have access to:

• Close mentorship from Dr. Hattie Chung, including regular one-on-one meetings and support for grant writing, presentations, and publishing
• Opportunities to present at national/international conferences
• Access to a broad network of collaborators at Yale and beyond

Qualifications

We welcome applicants with backgrounds in either experimental biology, computational biology, or both.

Required:

• Ph. D. (or equivalent) in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Bioengineering, Systems Biology, or related discipline
• At least one first-author publication in the basic sciences (published or under review). Less can be more – we prefer someone who has successfully led a substantial project, rather than many small papers. 
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment

Preferred experience:

• Single-cell and/or spatial genomics technologies
• Next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques
• Computational analysis of genomic data
• Working with mouse models of disease
• Flow cytometry and related cell isolation techniques
