Van Andel Institute (VAI), a world-class biomedical research institute, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is dedicated to improving human health. We are pioneers in the fight against cancer, Parkinson's, and other diseases. We are committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists and educators. The Van Andel Institute (VAI) Laboratory of Dr. Adelheid Lempradl and the Laboratory of Andrew Pospisilik, Ph.D. is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Scientist (depending on qualifications) for a combined research project focusing on dissection of two unique and powerful models of paternal epigenetic inheritance. The labs focus on understanding the epigenetic processes that drive interindividual variability, epigenetic inheritance, developmental programming and thereby disease heterogeneity. We intersect functional fly and mouse genetics, epigenomics, machine learning, human cohort analysis and physiology to define novel disease processes. You will be responsible for establishing and profiling male germline epigenomes and linking those to programming of early embryos of the next generation. Our other projects focus on defining human disease sub-types and disease regulatory modules via machine learning approaches, understanding the molecular architecture that buffers against interindividual susceptibility to disease, and identifying mechanistic insights into how developmental / intergenerational programming underpins human disease. Why choose the Lempradl and Pospisilik Labs: The Lempradl and Pospisilik Labs form a long-standing partnership at the forefront of epigenetics, developmental programming, and disease heterogeneity. Working jointly for more than 14 years, we combine complementary strengths in functional mouse and Drosophila genetics, human big-data analysis, chromatin biology, and systems-level modeling of metabolic and developmental processes. Together, our teams have delivered many firsts in the field: * discovery of chromatin-encoded intergenerational metabolic programming (Cell 2014), * the first demonstration that Trim28-dependent developmental heterogeneity drives alternate obesity and cancer susceptibilities (Cell 2016; Nat Cancer 2025), * identification of human probabilistic disease subtypes using machine learning on twin and cohort data (Nat Metab 2022), and * deconstruction of β-cell epigenetic subtypes relevant to diabetes (Cell Metab 2023). * temporally resolved concomitant single-embryo metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis of early embryo development (Nat Metab 2025) Our laboratories have been recognized internationally with honors including the NIH Director's Transformative Research Award (2021), two European Research Council Grants (Starting 2011; Consolidator 2016), the GSK-Stiftung Prize for Basic Medical Research (2015), the EASD Rising Star Award (2013), and the HeIDI Helmholtz Investigator Award (2016). Dr. Pospisilik also serves on the Editorial Board of Science Advances and is a standing NIH POMD study-section member. Both groups are funded through multi-year NIH, NSF and startup awards (R01 HG012444, R01 DK132216, NSF 2346622 and internal), ensuring strong project support and access to advanced genomic, animal, and computational resources. Postdoctoral researchers benefit from the combined infrastructure of two fully integrated teams and the collaborative environment of VAI's Departments of Epigenetics and Metabolism. About the Principal Investigators: Adelheid Lempradl, Ph.D. and Andrew Pospisilik, Ph.D. are long-term collaborators whose complementary expertise spans epigenomic technology, developmental biology, and integrative physiology. Their joint mentoring philosophy emphasizes independence, creativity, and cross-disciplinary training. Each postdoc has the opportunity to develop projects that bridge Drosophila and mouse models with human genomic data, gaining exposure from molecular bench work to big-data analysis. Mentoring excellence is reflected in high success rate of Postdocs achieving independent PI positions in academia, sustained trainee success and roles as organizers of multiple international epigenetics, development and metabolism symposia as well as leadership of VAI's Epigenomics R25 training program. With nearly 15 years of productive collaboration, the Lempradl-Pospisilik partnership offers an unusually stable and synergistic environment for early-career scientists eager to explore how epigenetic systems shape development and disease. Required qualifications: * PhD in molecular / cellular / physiological sciences * Team player * Highly organized * Demonstrates proactive communication and coordination skills to manage the complexities of working across two research groups. * Self-motivated and driven * Experience leading a project from start to publication Desired qualifications: * Experience in Embryology, germline and developmental biology * Research experience in chromatin biology and epigenomics * Data science/command line/bioinformatics * Mouse physiology * CRISPRa / CRIPSRi * Strengths in biochemistry, genomics and molecular biology Qualities, traits and characteristics of an ideal candidate for the Lempradl and Pospisilik Labs: * Innate abilities include self-motivation, creativity, hard work, a can-do attitude, empathy, and a humble and communicative team player. * Collaborative team player who proactively shares knowledge and expertise with lab members. * Ability to independently design and carry out complex research projects. * Excitement to pursue interesting new research directions and willingness to take scientific risks. * Excellent verbal and written scientific communication skills.
