About this position

Postdoctoral Associate in Cell and Molecular Biology / Molecular Biology at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX)

The Hinson Lab at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine and UConn Health is recruiting an independent, highly motivated PhD-level scientist for a postdoctoral associate position in cell and molecular biology. The project is part of a trans-continental collaborative group funded by the Human Frontiers Science Program (HFSP) and focuses on using human pluripotent stem cell technology and advanced structural biology approaches to define the mechanisms and rules of sarcomere assembly and function.

This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with research interests in stem cell differentiation, advanced imaging, protein-protein interaction studies, genome editing, proteomics, and bioinformatics. The lab also uses pluripotent stem cell biology, tissue engineering, genome editing, and multi-omics assays to study inherited heart failure and other muscle disorders. The successful applicant will join a world-class consortium spanning pluripotent stem cell biology, 3D organoids/microtissue assays, super-resolution microscopy, and structural biology.

Eligibility highlights: PhD in cell biology, molecular biology, biophysics, biomedical engineering, or a related field; prior experience in at least two relevant areas (pluripotent stem cell biology/differentiation, advanced microscopy, genome editing, proteomics); publication record in peer-reviewed journals; strong writing and communication skills; ability to work independently and collaboratively across continents. Experience with R, Python, proteomics analysis, and bioinformatics is helpful.

Funding and salary: This is a paid postdoctoral position with JAX salary support listed by experience level, ranging from $65,589 to $75,569. The project is supported by HFSP funding.

How to apply: Submit a current CV, at least two letters of reference, and a one-page statement of research interests and career goals through the linked application page. Review the posting carefully for the employer’s application instructions.

Institution: The Jackson Laboratory is an independent, nonprofit biomedical research institution with locations in the United States and internationally. This opening is based in Farmington, Connecticut.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
