Open date: October 18, 2022
POSITION DESCRIPTION
The lab of Spencer Diamond at UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar to work on developing and characterizing model in vitro human microbiome systems with the goal of identifying genetic determinants of probiotic persistence. This work is part of a new collaborative initiative at the Innovative Genomics Institute, BiomeForge, lead by Jennifer Doudna, Jill Banfield, and two new investigators Ben Rubin and Brady Cress. This project aims to: i) develop stable, model in vitro human microbiome systems that can be used to study probiotic strain persistence, ii) identify features (e.g., genes, pathways, and interactions) of in vitro microbiomes that have a statistical influence on persistence duration, (iii) leverage genome-resolved metagenomic data to expand toolsets for targeted genetic editing within these in vitro microbiome systems.
Responsibilities:
The Diamond lab is seeking to recruit a motivated postdoctoral fellow interested in working across the highly collaborative BiomeForge team that will undertake this project. This postdoc will primarily be responsible for the high-throughput establishment and characterization of stable in vitro consortia derived from adult human stool samples. Additionally, the postdoc will be responsible for performing multi-Omics experiments and subsequent analysis to identify features (e.g. genes, pathways, interactions, ect.) within these systems that are statistically associated with differences in the persistence duration of multiple probiotic strains. It is expected that the hire will have excellent communication skills and be able to regularly report progress in written and presentation formats.

POSITION DESCRIPTION
The Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology at the University of California, Berkeley seeks Postdoctoral Scholars to join an interdisciplinary research team study and to work under the supervision of Professor Danica Chen, in the area of biology of aging.
One of the most fundamental questions in biology is how we age. The past decades have witnessed a significant revision of a traditional view that aging is simply a random and passive process that is solely driven by entropy. In fact, the aging process is regulated genetically and lifespan can be extended by single gene mutations. Our research aims to understand molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the aging process and explore therapeutic targets to slow aging and even reverse aging-associated degeneration. The most intriguing aspect of pharmaceutical intervention that targets the aging pathways is that, instead of targeting a specific disease, it has the potential of ameliorating a wide array of seemingly unrelated diseases associated with aging, such as cancer, tissue degeneration, metabolic syndrome, and immune dysfunction.
This position involves laboratory work on a daily basis. The employee will perform studies in the laboratory to examine the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate aging and diseases of aging using mouse models and cell culture.
QUALIFICATIONS
• PhD (or equivalent international degree) or enrolled in a PhD degree program (or equivalent international degree) at the time of application
- Demonstrated experience with cell culture -Demonstrated experience with standard molecular biology techniques, including cloning, PCR, electrophoresis, Western blot
- Demonstrated experience with standard cell biology techniques, including flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining

The Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of California, Berkeley is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral scholar position in evolutionary biology, quantitative genetics, and genomics in the lab of Rachel Brem. The over-arching goals of the funded projects are to understand how evolution builds new traits, using long-diverged fungi from the wild as model systems. We focus on cases where a genetically tractable lineage has evolved unique characters whose mechanisms are accessible to genetic and genomic dissection. The postdoc will develop methods for, carry out, and analyze fungal transgenesis experiments and high-throughput sequencing screens to identify and validate variant genes underlying phenotypic differences between fungal species. Responsibilities will include genetic manipulations; troubleshooting and verification; phenotyping assays, including growth and metabolism; and computational and statistical data analysis. The postdoc will lead writeup and publication of experimental findings. Our postdoctoral projects are a great fit for post-Ph.D. trainees looking to hone their skills in evolutionary genetics and emerge onto the job market in a few years with a great molecular story.
