The laboratories of Dr. Marlene Rabinovitch, Professor of Pediatrics (Cardiology), and Jesse Engreitz, Assistant Professor of Genetics are seeking a highly motivated and accomplished postdoctoral scholar to join their team of investigators in conjunction with the Basic Science and Engineering (BASE) Initiative of the Children's Heart Center at Stanford University and the Department of Genetics to work on understanding mechanisms of pulmonary arterial hypertension using in vivo Perturb-seq. This project is related to a new NIH-funded Program Project Grant aimed at identifying differences and similarities in gene function across vascular cell types and diseases, as well as important gene/environmental interactions.

The successful applicant will be immersed in cutting-edge high throughput gene targeting and single cell RNA-seq, and in the molecular and cellular biology of vascular cells and diseases. Position will involve working with both human cells and mouse models. The project encompasses uncovering novel mechanisms of gene regulation, and high dimensional single cell mapping of tissues. See https://med.stanford.edu/rabinovitchbland and https://www.engreitzlab.org for more details about the labs and training environment.
