Postdoctoral Fellow - Reproductive Biology

Postdoctoral Fellow - Reproductive Biology The Bomba-Warczak Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is recruiting creative, collaborative, and highly independent postdoctoral scientists to lead new research projects in reproductive biology. Our lab studies how the ovarian microenvironment supports oocyte development and reproductive function across the lifespan. We are particularly interested in understanding how cellular interactions within the ovarian follicle shape oocyte health, tissue physiology, and reproductive aging. Our research integrates mouse models, quantitative cell and tissue biology, imaging approaches, stable-isotope tracing, and mass-spectrometry–based omics to uncover molecular pathways that regulate reproductive biology and cellular communication in complex tissues. Projects will be tailored to the interests of the successful candidate within broadly defined research themes including: Mechanisms regulating ovarian follicle biology and oocyte development Molecular communication between somatic and germ cells within reproductive tissues Systems-level analysis of metabolic and proteomic dynamics in reproductive physiology Cellular and molecular determinants of reproductive aging and tissue resilience The Bomba-Warczak Lab is based at the Perelman School of Medicine's Department of Physiology at the University of Pennsylvania, within a highly collaborative scientific environment that provides access to world-class facilities for proteomics, metabolomics, imaging, and mouse genetics. Our lab emphasizes rigorous science, intellectual independence, and strong mentorship supporting diverse career trajectories.
