<span style="color:black">A postdoctoral research associate position and PhD graduate student position are available in the laboratory of Dr. Jing Yang at the Department of Comparative Biosciences, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The Yang laboratory
(</span><span style="color:black"><a href="https://vetmed.illinois.edu/yang-lab/"><span style="color:black">https://vetmed.illinois.edu/yang-lab/</span></a></span><span style="color:black">) investigates how maternal gene products regulate early development.
We apply biochemical, cell biological, and multi-omic approaches to study post-transcriptional regulation of the oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET), a developmental process that allows fully differentiated cells to regain totipotency. We are looking for highly
motivated individuals who are curious and passionate about science to study how the remodeling of cellular organelles and maternal RNAs dictates the temporal and spatial gene expression during the OET and early embryonic development.
