Postdoctoral fellow in metabolic biology on adipose and liver at the Sona Kang Lab, UC Berkeley

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.
