About this position
Requisition Number: JPF11338
A fully funded Postdoctoral Scholar position supported by recent NIH awards is available in the The Peng Lab (Department of Ophthalmology, UCLA). Our laboratory combines single-cell multiomics (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, spatial transcriptomics), cell-surface proteomics, viral vector engineering, and computational modeling to decode the development, circuit organization, and degeneration of the visual system. We are seeking a highly motivated scientist trained in neuroscience with expertise in molecular biology and bioinformatics to lead high-impact research projects.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead independent and collaborative research projects employing multi-omic profiling, functional genomics, and viral targeting strategies.
- Perform standard molecular and cellular neurobiology assays (e.g., construct design/cloning, cell/neuronal culture, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting).
- Execute bioinformatic and statistical analyses on high-throughput single-cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets.
- Prepare high-quality manuscripts, assist with grant reporting, and present findings at national and international conferences.
To Apply: Interested applicants should submit a CV, a brief cover letter outlining research accomplishments and career goals, and contact information for three references to yirongpeng@mednet.ucla.edu

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
