The Yadlapalli Lab offers a unique opportunity to conduct research at the intersection of circadian biology, cell biology, and RNA biology, and contribute to transformative discoveries in circadian rhythms and sleep. As a postdoctoral fellow, you will work in a supportive and dynamic environment, receive personalized mentorship, and gain the skills and experience needed to launch a successful independent career. The University of Michigan provides a rich academic community, world-class resources, and a vibrant campus life in Ann Arbor, a city known for its cultural and intellectual energy. For inquiries, please contact Dr. Swathi Yadlapalli at [email protected] Job Summary The Yadlapalli Lab at the University of Michigan's Department of Cell & Developmental Biology is seeking a highly motivated and passionate Postdoctoral Fellow to join our research team. We are a group of scientists dedicated to addressing fundamental questions in circadian biology and sleep , using Drosophila melanogaster and mammalian cells as our model systems. Our lab has pioneered innovative cell biological approaches, enabling unprecedented visualization of individual clock mRNAs, genes, and proteins with subcellular resolution in intact fly brains. Recent research from our lab has provided the first insights into the how spatiotemporal organization of clock components in clock neurons controls circadian rhythms. We employ state-of-the-art techniques in fly neurogenetics, proteomics, molecular biology, RNA biology, multi-omics, and quantitative imaging to investigate circadian mechanisms at molecular and cellular levels. Postdoctoral fellows will join a supportive, inclusive environment and contribute to exciting research while developing their own independent research programs. Required Qualifications• ? Ph.D. in a relevant field such as neurobiology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, or biochemistry. ? Strong interest in circadian biology, sleep, or related fields, with a desire to tackle challenging scientific questions. ? Experience with Drosophila genetics, imaging, RNA biology, biochemistry, or omics approaches is preferred but not required. Why Join Michigan Medicine?
