JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: The Department of Physiology is
seeking a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join
our dynamic team at Medical College of Wisconsin, Chun Liu lab
(https://liuclab.com). Our research focuses on unraveling the
complexities of cardiovascular diseases using state-of-the-art
technologies, including induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) models and
CRISPR/Cas9 screening. This position will primarily contribute to
projects aimed at dissecting novel regulators in cardiovascular diseases
through CRISPR screening and iPSC. Responsibilities: Develop and
characterize iPSC-derived cardiovascular disease models. Design and
execute CRISPR-based high-throughput screens to identify key genetic
regulators in cardiovascular diseases. Analyze and interpret next
generation sequencing data from CRISPR screens. Collaborate with a
multidisciplinary team to integrate findings into broader research
initiatives. Contribute to manuscript writing and present findings at
national and international conferences. Assist in the preparation of
grant proposals.Primary Functions: The postdoc will lead the recent
American Heart Association-funded project in the lab. Plan, design and
execute complex research studies, procedures and protocols. Coordinate
