The Belote Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar. Located within the Department of Molecular Genetics in the College of Arts and Sciences, the lab investigates how individual melanocytes, commonly known as pigment cells, contribute to multi-organ health through functional diversification. We leverage our understanding of healthy melanocyte heterogeneity to uncover mechanistic explanations for the clinical diversity observed in melanocyte-associated diseases (including melanoma, vitiligo, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis), with the goal of informing novel therapeutic approaches. Many of our studies use human and murine models and employ a wide range of techniques to interrogate systems ranging from intact fresh tissue to individual cells. The Postdoctoral Scholar will contribute to ongoi
