We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Preclinical Imaging laboratory at Calico to investigate molecular mechanisms controlling age-related diastolic dysfunction and its contribution to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). You will be joining a multidisciplinary team of biologists, physicists and computational scientists using advanced imaging techniques (MRI, ultrasound, bioluminescence), animal models, RNA/DNA sequence data and large-scale human data sets to explore the biology of diastolic dysfunction and aging. Key aspects of this project include the development of imaging strategies to quantify diastolic dysfunction, characterization of animal models, genome wide association analyses, and conceptual integration of human and animal data to generate hypotheses for experimental validation. Calico provides a stimulating and collaborative working environment focused on fundamental discovery research and a commitment to translate scientific advances to realize their therapeutic potential.

Calico Postdoctoral Fellowship Program:
Calico’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program pairs recent PhD graduates with internal expertise to conduct fundamental and innovative research and investigate meaningful scientific questions aligned with our mission to understand the biology of human aging and develop interventions for age-related diseases. Postdoctoral Fellows at Calico receive mentorship and support to develop independent research programs to enable the next stage of their careers. In addition to direct mentorship from their host laboratories, Postdoctoral Fellows benefit from collaboration with diverse scientists across Calico’s Research and Technology groups and are encouraged and supported to communicate their findings through high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific journals and conferences.
Program Features:
Calico requires all new hires to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to the first date of employment. As required by applicable law, Calico will consider requests for Reasonable Accommodations.
Calico Life Sciences LLC is an Alphabet subsidiary responsible for health research and development, life sciences and biotechnology. Originating on September 18, 2013 prior to the Google restructuring and headed by Bill Maris with the goal of combating aging and diseases of aging, it was incorporated into Alphabet with Google's other sister divisions in 2015.
