Description
A global higher education leader in innovative teaching, research and public service, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill consistently ranks as one of the nation's top public universities.
Known for its beautiful campus, world-class medical care, commitment to the arts and top athletic programs, Carolina is an ideal place to teach, work and learn.
One of the best college towns and best places to live in the United States, Chapel Hill has diverse social, cultural, recreation and professional opportunities that span the campus and community.
University employees can choose from a wide range of professional training opportunities for career growth, skill development and lifelong learning and enjoy exclusive perks that include numerous retail and restaurant discounts, savings on local child care centers and special rates for performing arts events.
The Department of Biology at UNC-Chapel Hill is dedicated to the discovery and dissemination of new and existing knowledge in the broad discipline of Biology by maintaining a high-quality faculty who integrate cutting-edge research and student-focused teaching.
The department is composed of 50 tenure-track faculty, 10 teaching faculty, 8 research faculty, and numerous active adjunct and emeritus faculty.
We currently have 50 graduate students, 40 post-docs and employ approximately 60 additional graduate and undergraduate students from across the university to assist in our teaching and research missions.
Our mission is supported by an administrative and technical staff of 20, with an additional 25 staff directly supporting research.
The Jiakun Chen lab in the Biology Department at UNC is interested in astrocyte development and function in the nervous system.
Our lab uses fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and zebrafish Danio rerio as model systems to explore fundamental aspects of astrocyte biology.
We leverage the powerful genetics and unparalleled molecular toolkits in Drosophila to uncover gene function in astrocytes, and we exploit the advanced live-imaging techniques in zebrafish to study the crosstalk between astrocytes and surrounding cells in vivo.
Our hope is that this information will ultimately provide novel insights into astrocyte dysfunction in human neurological disease.Position Summary
