About this position
Postdoctoral Associate in Cell Biology at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Platt Lab (Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology).
This postdoctoral position focuses on molecular and cellular biology, with an emphasis on how changes in protein mobility and biomolecular condensates contribute to human disease, especially gastrointestinal pathophysiology. The lab is interested in disease mechanisms and tractable therapeutic targets, and the successful candidate will work on projects using advanced imaging approaches such as FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching) and SPT (single-particle tracking).
Responsibilities include designing and executing independent experiments, analyzing protein mobility with quantitative imaging and computational tools, contributing to manuscript and grant writing, presenting findings at seminars and conferences, and collaborating across disciplines.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent in molecular biology, biophysics, systems biology, or a related field. Preferred experience includes imaging, microscopy, cell biology, and image analysis software such as ImageJ/FIJI, MATLAB, or Python. Interest or experience in biomolecular condensates, protein mobility, and/or redox biology is valued, along with a strong publication record and a collaborative, creative mindset.
Funding and terms: this is a postdoctoral appointment with a 1-year term and possible reappointment based on performance. The posted salary is $75,812, and benefits are provided through Weill Cornell Medicine. The posting also notes possible visa eligibility for J-1 and H-1B pathways.
How to apply: email a one-page cover letter, CV with publications, and 2–3 references to [email protected].
Location: Belfer Research Building, 6th floor, Weill Cornell Medicine.
Starting date: 9/1/2026.
