Postdoctoral Researcher, Sugioka Lab

Posted 6/3/2026
The Sugioka Lab at the University of British Columbia seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher in developmental cell biology to study the developmental control of cell division and the cytoskeleton.
The successful candidates will lead projects investigating how cortical flow, concerted actomyosin flow, regulates embryonic morphogenesis, including asymmetric cell division and left-right asymmetry. In the past few years, our lab has identified novel mechanical regulation of cortical flow and its role in asymmetric regulation of cytokinesis (Khor et al., 2025 PMID 41130205; Hsu et al., 2023 PMID:38065974). Building on this work, the successful candidate will investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.
Work will be developed in close collaboration with the supervisor. The candidate will also have a significant opportunity for independent project development (funding available up to five years).
