Opening Information

December 2025

Postdoctoral Fellows:
We are not accepting applications at this time. In the future (late 2026), we may seek postdoctoral fellows interested in epigenetic gene regulation in the germline. We are looking for highly motivated individuals who wish to pursue innovative research projects. Current graduate students interested in joining the Namekawa Lab in the future (late 2026 or later) may contact Satoshi Namekawa (snamekawa@ucdavis.edu) to discuss potential opportunities. We consider applicants who have basic skills in molecular biology and bioinformatics (or are willing to learn bioinformatics).

Visiting Graduate Students:
We may accept visiting graduate students who are completing their thesis work and are interested in becoming postdoctoral fellows in the Namekawa Lab in the future. Applicants must have basic skills in molecular biology and bioinformatics (or be willing to learn bioinformatics). If you are interested, please contact: snamekawa@ucdavis.edu.

Graduate Students:
We are not currently accepting rotation students. We may accept rotation students from the IGG and BMCDB programs in the 2026–2027 cycle. We can only consider applications from first-year IGG and BMCDB students. We are unable to consider other applications.

Undergraduate Students:
The 2025–2026 application cycle is now closed, and we are no longer accepting new applications. We accept applications once per year in the fall. The next application window will be September–October 2026.
