What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Scientist position at MBL?
Postdoctoral Scientist - Maternal Age Effects: Mitochondrial and Epigenetic Mechanisms
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 and transgenerational inheritance, 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 conducts research on the biology of aging, with a focus on the effects of maternal age on offspring health and lifespan. Rotifers serve as a model system for our work.
