About this position

New Jersey Institute of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Dr. Jorge Golowasch to launch a new research direction at the intersection of plant natural products chemistry and translational neuroscience.

The project focuses on the bioactivity of plant-derived natural products against neuroinflammation, including THC-like compounds identified in liverworts. The appointee will help build and carry out a screening pipeline to test candidate compounds in relevant cellular systems and connect chemical discovery with functional neurobiological readouts.

Research activities include:

  • designing and executing bioactivity screens in anti-neuroinflammatory cell models;
  • running biochemical and molecular assays to assess cytokines, signaling pathways, and cell viability;
  • using microscopy approaches such as immunofluorescence and live-cell imaging;
  • integrating electrophysiological measurements, including patch-clamp readouts, into the workflow;
  • maintaining mammalian cell culture systems and preparing compounds for testing;
  • mentoring graduate and undergraduate researchers;
  • analyzing data, contributing to manuscripts, and supporting grant development.

The postdoctoral researcher will work in a research environment that combines experimental neuroscience, cell-based screening, and natural products-focused discovery within NJIT’s broader research community. The role is centered on building a new line of investigation under Dr. Golowasch’s supervision.

Funding details

Compensation listed as $63,480.00 base salary for Post Docs, full-time, exempt; benefits information is provided via the NJIT benefits page.

What's required

PhD in Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have demonstrated hands-on experience with mammalian cell culture systems, experience with biochemical and molecular assays such as ELISA, Western blotting, qPCR, and viability/cytotoxicity assays, proficiency in microscopy-based imaging techniques including fluorescence, confocal, or live-cell imaging and image analysis software, a strong record of productivity evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, excellent organizational, analytical, and communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively across multiple research groups. The university notes that equivalent education and experience may be accepted at its discretion.
