What are the responsibilities and job description for the Research Scientist in Epigenetics and Aging position at MBL?
Job 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 and transgenerational inheritance, using molecular, bioinformatic, biochemical, and imaging techniques.
The laboratory of Dr. Kristin Gribble at the Marine Biological Laboratory conducts research on the biology of aging, with a focus on the effects of maternal age on offspring health and lifespan. Rotifers are used as a model system for this work. For more information about the lab's research, visit gribblebiolab.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 necessary; 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.
Responsibilities:
Develop and execute experiments to investigate the role of mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in maternal age effects and transgenerational inheritance. Analyze data using bioinformatic tools and statistical methods. Present research findings in peer-reviewed publications and at conferences.
