Postdoctoral Fellow in Functional & Chemical Genomics - Yoon

Department: Functional & Chemical Genomics - Yoon

Postdoctoral fellow and Assistant Staff Scientist positions are available in Dr. Wan Hee Yoon’s lab, in Functional & Chemical Genomics Research Program at Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF). Yoon lab studies questions at the intersection between metabolism and human neurological diseases. We are taking a combination of Drosophila genetics, biochemical, and genomic approaches as well as patient-derived iPSC study. Our group is situated within collaborative functional genomics and mitochondria biology communities and is a member of the rapidly growing Functional and Chemical Genomics Program at the OMRF.

Please see some of our recent publications listed below for more information: Neuron. 2017; 93(1): 115-131; Am J Hum Genet. 2018; 102 (3): 494-504; Am J Hum Genet. 2016; 99(4): 831-845

Researchers with strong interest in metabolism, mitochondria biology and neurological diseases are welcome to apply.

Expertise in any of the following areas is highly valued though not required: 

- Drosophila genetics 

- Metabolism 

- Human iPSC 

- Developmental biology
