Postdoctoral Fellow: Reproductive Biology & 3D Imaging

Baylor College of Medicine; Houston (TX); On-site; USD 63,000 - 69,000; Full time

Job summary

Baylor College of Medicine’s Jorgez Laboratory in Urology seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow PhD to study testicular dysfunction and infertility using a Wnt4-cKO mouse model, at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. The role combines developmental biology, reproductive endocrinology, and advanced 3D imaging (confocal, spatial transcriptomics) with collaborative teamwork and NIH-aligned stipends.

Responsibilities include designing and executing mouse experiments, imaging data analysis, publishing

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
• No experience required.

Responsibilities

• Designs and executes experiments using mouse models, including breeding colony management and genotyping.
• Performs advanced 3D and spatial imaging (confocal, LSFM, Xenium spatial transcriptomics) and associated computational image analysis.
• Conducts cellular and molecular assays including immunohistochemistry, proteomic profiling, and tissue-derived cell culture-based functional studies.
• Analyzes, interprets, and presents complex multimodal datasets integrating imaging, transcriptomic, and proteomic data.
• Prepares manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication and contributes to grant progress reports and future funding applications.
• Maintains reagents and supplies for experiments.
• Teaches techniques, procedures, and experimental design to other members of the lab.
• Communicates research results in group meetings, national or international conferences.
• Plans, directs, and conducts research experiments.
