Postdoctoral Scientist – Fibrosis, Liver Disease
Join Gilead Sciences as a Postdoctoral Scientist to conduct innovative research at the forefront of chronic fibrotic liver disease. The role focuses on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
At Gilead, we are dedicated to tackling the world’s biggest health challenges. Every team member is critical to the discovery and development of life‑changing scientific innovations. This position offers a unique opportunity to lead independent research using cutting‑edge single‑cell and spatial transcriptomics data, cross‑functional expertise, and world‑class facilities.
Responsibilities
Initiate and lead independent research projects investigating pathogenic mechanisms in chronic fibrotic liver disease.
Utilize Gilead’s rich single‑cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets, as well as clinical datasets, to uncover novel mechanisms driving fibrotic niche expansion.
Employ mouse genetic and pharmacology approaches to investigate key disease drivers and establish novel ex vivo models for target identification and screening.
Design, conduct, and analyze in vitro and in vivo experiments to advance research toward publication in a top‑tier journal.
The postdoctoral scientist is expected to publish work in top‑tier journals and present at scientific conferences. The position is a fixed‑term, three‑year postdoctoral training opportunity.
Basic Qualifications
Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, or a related discipline.
At least one first‑author paper published or accepted in a peer‑reviewed journal.
Proficiency in mammalian cell biology and biochemistry techniques.
Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills; strong organizational skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Broad hands‑on expertise in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and imaging techniques, including transfection/transduction, CRISPR/Cas9, microscopy, flow cytometry, and other immunoassays.
Experience with mouse models of disease, in‑life procedures, and tissue harvesting.
Familiarity with analysis of large‑scale multi‑omic datasets, such as single‑cell and spatial transcriptomics.
Experience developing complex primary cell co‑culture systems.
Demonstrated success in leading focused hypothesis‑driven biological research with high‑quality publications.
Ability to work collaboratively in a cross‑functional team and communicate clearly with diverse audiences.
Salary and Benefits Salary range: $126,820.00 – $164,120.00. The position may be eligible for paid time off and a benefits package, including company‑sponsored medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans.
