Postdoctoral Scientist – Mitochondrial mechanisms of maternal age effects - Gribble Lab
About The Position
A postdoctoral research position is available to study the role of mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in maternal age effects and transgenerational inheritance, using molecular, bioinformatic, biochemical, organismal, and imaging techniques. This is an NIH-funded project in the laboratory of Dr. Kristin Gribble at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA. The lab researches the biology of aging, with a focus on the effects of maternal age on offspring health and lifespan. We use rotifers as a model system for our work. For more information about the lab’s research, see gribblebiolab.org.
Requirements
- Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics, or a related field.
- The ideal candidate will have a record of scientific rigor, productivity, and creativity.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills are required.
Nice To Haves
