About this position

The Department of Physiology & Biophysics at Howard University College of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to research on pregnancy-related disorders, including gestational diabetes mellitus, and the long-term effects on maternal and offspring health. The project is centered on understanding how these conditions may shape later outcomes such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

The research uses a broad set of experimental approaches across primary cells, cell models, animal models, and ex vivo or in vitro systems. The work involves conventional life science methods alongside newer technologies, including gene manipulation and multiple omics approaches. The successful candidate will be involved in experiments, data analysis, presentations, and publications, while also contributing to the conceptualization and design of research studies.

The position is embedded in a laboratory environment that includes molecular, cellular, biochemical, histological, and animal-based experimentation. The description emphasizes work on placental mitophagy, metabolism, and inter-organ communication, suggesting a mechanistic research program focused on maternal-fetal biology and disease pathways.

The postdoctoral fellow will also support laboratory operations and assist other personnel, including training students and residents in the lab setting.

Funding details

Competitive salary of approximately $43,000-$53,000.

What's required

For the Postdoctoral Fellow title, a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science, Genetics, Cell Biology, or Biochemistry is required. For the Research Associate title, a B.S. and M.S. in life sciences or related disciplines may be eligible depending on research background and skills.
