About this position

The Pickrell Lab at Virginia Tech is recruiting a postdoctoral associate to investigate mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in primary mitochondrial disorders. The project focuses on the mechanistic underpinnings of OXPHOS dysfunction in postnatal neurodevelopment, with particular attention to neurogenesis and gliogenesis.

The successful candidate will join a research environment centered on cell and molecular approaches, single-cell sequencing, and neuroscience. The role includes active participation in lab meetings, support for training undergraduate and graduate students, and day-to-day contribution to maintaining an organized laboratory and data environment.

The appointment is based at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, within a major research university that emphasizes transdisciplinary scholarship and broad research activity.

Funding details

Full benefits and a competitive salary equitable to NIH standards; subsequent years are supported and renewable upon performance.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in Neuroscience awarded no more than four years prior to the effective date of appointment, with at least one year of eligibility remaining. A background in the fundamental mechanisms driving OXPHOS dysfunction is required, along with strong written and oral communication, interpersonal, organizational, and team skills, and experience in data analysis and manuscript preparation. Preferred experience includes primary cell and tissue culture, cell and molecular biology, qPCR, single-cell sequencing, confocal and live imaging, cloning and CRISPR gene editing, and mouse handling, genetics, and histology.

How to apply

Email Alicia Pickrell with inquiries. Submit a cover letter with career goals and aspirations, a CV, and contact information for three professional references through the application process.
