Postdoctoral positions are available for enthusiastic and driven scientists desiring to study the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying aging and age-related diseases. The lab uses a combination of genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches to study aging in both C. elegans and mammalian cell culture models. Candidates should be highly motivated and have relevant training in molecular biology and biochemical techniques. Candidates with a Ph.D. and a strong research history as indicated by their publication record are encouraged to apply. Those with experience in neuroscience, aging, molecular/cellular biology, biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics or related fields are strongly encouraged to apply. Prior C. elegans experience is not required.

Please email a letter of interest including your research history, CV including contact information of three references, and future research interests to the email below.  Applicants should outline specifically why they are excited by our research program and what they can contribute to ongoing efforts. 

Several rotation projects are available in the laboratory and can be tailored to compliment the specific interests of the student. The lab uses a wide variety of molecular biology and biochemical approaches in both C. elegans and mammalian cell culture models. Commonly used techniques include: molecular cloning, Western blotting, RNA mediate interference, transgenic strain construction via microinjection, fluorescent microscopy and C. elegans longevity analysis.
