Postdoctoral Fellow in Pulmonary Vascular Biology Full-time

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an NIH-funded research program in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, focused on uncovering fundamental mechanisms of human disease and translating these insights into new therapeutic strategies.

Our lab studies pulmonary vascular disease as a model of pathologic tissue remodeling, combining mechanistic biology with human multi-omics data to identify actionable therapeutic targets and clinically meaningful biomarkers. We leverage a unique, integrated approach that spans:

• Cutting-edge multi-omics approaches, including single-cell and spatial transcriptomics
• Primary human samples and deeply phenotyped clinical cohorts
• In vivo and ex vivo models of disease
• Mechanistic studies in cellular systems

The successful candidate will lead projects bridging basic discovery and translational application, with opportunities to contribute to new biological insights and therapeutic approaches for human disease.

This is an ideal environment for trainees who want to:

• Work on high-impact, clinically relevant problems
• Gain experience across multi-scale experimental systems
• Develop an independent research vision supported by strong mentorship and collaboration
