Postdoctoral Scientist – Mitochondrial mechanisms of maternal age effects
Marine Biological Laboratory | Woods Hole, MA | Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications
Description:
A postdoctoral research position is available to study the role of mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in maternal age effects and transgenerational inheritance, using molecular, bioinformatic, biochemical, organismal, 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 the effects of maternal age on offspring health and lifespan. We use rotifers as a model system for our work. For more information about the lab’s research, see 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, mitochondrial biology, epigenetics, and/or imaging are encouraged to apply.
Required Documents:
To apply please submit:
- Cover letter with a brief description of your research experience and how you will contribute to research on the mechanisms of maternal age effects
- Curriculum Vitae
- Contact information for at least three references
Review of applications will begin on January 10, 2026.
