Job Description
Job Description
Postdoctoral scholar position in the Conklin lab (www.ConklinLab.org), at the Gladstone Institutes, focused on therapeutic gene editing motor neuron disease. Available projects employ extensive use of iPSC-derived tissues for disease modeling, as well as potential animal models. These projects are funded by the NIH, disease groups as well as the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI). This is a close collaboration with Jennifer Doudna and multiple Gladstone and UCSF labs (see links below).
A strong background in molecular biology and cell culture are required. Novel genome engineering methods will be employed and there are significant opportunities for high profile publications.
Since our projects began recently, most of what we are doing is not yet published. We are fortunate to have some coverage that can helps to explain our current direction with CRISPR and iPSCs in the links at:

What We Do
Gladstone's mission is to drive a new era of discovery in disease-oriented science and to mentor tomorrow’s leaders in an inspiring and diverse environment. Although Gladstone shares traits with other top life science organizations, we pride ourselves on taking uncommon scientific paths to overcoming disease. Our investigators are selected to become authorities in leading or creating new fields, and we work to provide them with resources to explore bold new thoughts, form effective scientific teams, and create or master emerging research technologies that accelerate progress—Gladstone’s special recipe for success that has yielded some of the most important biomedical advances of our time. Our three disease-focused institutes constitute the core of our discovery engine, but do not operate in isolation. We are seizing unprecedented opportunities for “convergence”—defined as the blending of intellectual and physical assets from multiple scientific disciplines and fields to speed the discovery process in our attack on unsolved health problems that affect almost every human family.
