Merrimack College•North Andover, MA

8h•Onsite

About The Position

The Vogel Lab, currently based at New York University, will move to Merrimack College in Fall 2026. This is an opportunity to join the vibrant Boston-area research community, with strong links to the biotech industry, while also becoming part of Merrimack College’s growing research enterprise. Dr. Vogel’s research group is seeking to fill 1–2 postdoctoral researcher positions in the area of protein expression regulation during proteotoxic stress in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. The Vogel Lab has published extensively in the fields of proteomics and systems biology and is now expanding into translation regulation. Planned projects use a range of molecular biology approaches to characterize specific pathways involved in disease. Current work includes studying translation regulation of genes implicated in neurodegeneration; applicants are also encouraged to bring in their own ideas. Dr. Vogel is committed to providing strong mentoring and career support. Merrimack College also offers postdoctoral researchers opportunities to gain teaching experience. Merrimack College provides support for a limited range of work visas.
