Postdoctoral Scientist

Maternal age effects: mitochondrial and epigenetic mechanisms

Marine Biological Laboratory
Woods Hole, MA
Excellent salary and benefits, commensurate with experience and
qualifications

Description:

A postdoctoral research position is available to study the cellular,
genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms of maternal age effects on offspring
health and lifespan. The project will focus on the role of mitochondrial
dynamics and metabolism in maternal age effects, using molecular,
bioinformatic, biochemical, 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 maternal age effects on offspring
health and lifespan. We use rotifers as a model system for our work. For
more information about the lab???s research, seegribblebiolab.org.

Qualifications:

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. Knowledge of rotifer biology is not required; highly motivated
individuals with experience in other model systems and with a background
in bioinformatics, cell biology, biochemistry, epigenetics, and/or
imaging are encouraged to apply.

Required Documents:

Please submit (1) a cover letter with a brief description of your research
experience and how you will contribute to research on the mechanisms of
maternal age effects on offspring, (2) a CV, and (3) contact information
for at least three references.
