We’re hiring at the Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz lab! We are looking for enthusiastic post-doc candidates to join our lab in Caltech. We are using multidisciplinary approaches to study pre- and peri-implantation embryo development, in both human and mouse embryos. We aim to understand the mechanisms by which cells fate is established, cell competition and plasticity in relation to fitness, and self-organization in human and mouse models.
