What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at MBL?
Postdoctoral Research Position
Motherhood plays a crucial role in determining the lifespan of offspring. A research position is available to study the impact of maternal age on the health and longevity of offspring. This project will focus on understanding the underlying mechanisms, including mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism, that contribute to transgenerational inheritance.
The research team will employ cutting-edge techniques, such as molecular biology, bioinformatics, biochemical assays, and imaging, to investigate the effects of maternal age on offspring health. The goal is to gain insights into the complex interactions between maternal age and offspring lifespan.
Successful candidates will possess a Ph.D. in a relevant field, such as molecular biology, cell biology, or genetics. They should demonstrate a strong track record of scientific productivity and creativity, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work independently. Knowledge of rotifer biology is not essential; however, experience with other model systems and a background in bioinformatics, cell biology, epigenetics, and/or imaging are highly desirable.
The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting results. They will also contribute to writing research papers and grant proposals. We offer a dynamic and collaborative research environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.
