An NIH-funded postdoctoral position in developmental gene regulation is available immediately in Dr. Amanda Zacharias’s Lab at Cincinnati Children’s in Cincinnati, Ohio. We seek to understand how Wnt signaling activates distinct targets in different developmental contexts by studying how enhancers integrate multiple quantitative inputs to activate gene expression. We use an innovative time-lapse imaging approach to measure expression of a gene or cis-regulatory element in all cells of a live C. elegans embryo throughout development and plan to extend our studies to mammalian embryonic stem cells.
