This postdoctoral research associate role within the Ho lab at the University of Utah focuses on discovering and mapping mitochondrial microproteins to develop therapies for rare and common diseases. The position involves driving projects that combine high-throughput functional genomics, advanced mitochondrial biology, and machine learning to create a functional atlas of these proteins. Key responsibilities include designing CRISPR screens, analyzing multi-omic data, and utilizing AI for therapeutic microprotein design. The opportunity is appealing due to its collaborative team science culture, structured mentoring for independent research development, and access to state-of-the-art core facilities. The role offers a clear path toward high-impact publications and translational work, situated within a supportive environment that bridges wet-lab and computational disciplines.
