About Humboldt State University

Basic information and contact details for Humboldt State University

Humboldt State University is a public university located in Arcata, a college town 275 miles north of San Francisco. The institution is part of California State University’s 23-campus system.

Humboldt typically charges considerably lower tuition fees than private universities. For undergraduates starting in the academic year 2016 to 2017, full-time undergraduate tuition was $7,210 a year.

Humboldt State was founded in 1913 as a teacher training college. The university has expanded over the years to cover a range of academic disciplines and has gone by the name Humboldt State University since 1974. Humboldt now has three academic colleges offering 51 undergraduate majors programmes and 12 graduate programmes.

The university has a good reputation for its programmes in natural resources and sciences as well as visual and performing arts. Humboldt is also famous for its commitment to environmental responsibility and this focus is reflected in curriculums across the different academic programmes.

Humboldt State has a number of scientific resources for undergraduates to gain research experience. The university’s R.V. Coral Sea is an outdoor classroom and teaching vessel available for students to undertake their own marine research. A state-of-the-art Fire Lab allows students to study forest fires and their properties. Outside the lab, the ancient redwood forest forests that surround the campus are on hand for students to explore and study with experts in sustainable energy systems.

There is a range of activities for students to get involved with outside of their studies, including 180 campus clubs and Greek societies as well as 12 NCAA Division II athletics teams. The campus offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, with residence halls and apartments just a stone’s throw from a 2,500-acre Redwood forest. The wild coastline is also just five miles away from campus, so studying at Humboldt can include surfing and kayaking as well as biking and camping.

Ref.: 536541 Work type: Full-time Department: School of Biomedical Sciences (22600) Categories: Senior Research Staff & Post-doctoral Fellow Applications are invited for appointment as Post-doctoral Fellow in the School of Biomedical Sciences (Ref.: 536541), to commence as soon as possible for one year, with the possibility of renewal subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree, preferably in pluripotent stem cell biology, cellular reprogramming or bioinformatics, with excellent experimentation, writing, and communication skills. The appointee will contribute to a collaborative research project to investigate how the transcription factors that regulate pluripotent stem cells evolved at the dawn of animal multicellularity. The emergence of the first multicellular animals approximately 700 million years ago marks a significant milestone in the history of life and our own species. The genetic and molecular toolkit of multicellular animals and their closest unicellular relatives show notable similarities. However, the precise molecular mechanisms that facilitated the evolution of animal multicellularity, as we understand it today, remain unknown. To address this, we will analyze candidate transcription factor families and their mutations through biochemical assays, sequence analysis, and the induction of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Through these methods, our aim is to uncover the molecular innovations that played a crucial role in the emergence of animals. For further information, please contact Prof. Jauch at ralf@hku.hk or visit the pages of Prof. Jauch at https://www.sbms.hku.hk/staff/ralf-jauch. A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits. The University only accepts online application for the above post. Applicants should apply online and upload an up-to-date C.V. Review of applications will start from June 28, 2026 and continue until September 14, 2026, or until the post is filled, whichever is earlier.
