About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow in Cell Biology and Cancer at the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health (Frederick, United States).

The Westlake laboratory is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to study cell biology, cancer, developmental biology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, and multi-omics approaches to understand signaling regulation in human development and disease, including ciliopathy and cancer. The lab focuses on how membrane trafficking organizes and influences signaling at cellular organelles.

The position offers access to advanced experimental systems and technologies, including super-resolution microscopy, volume electron microscopy (FIB-SEM), high-content genetics/drug screening, spatial proteomics, and diverse model systems such as cultured cells, organoids, zebrafish, mouse, and Xenopus. The role is embedded in the highly collaborative NIH intramural research environment with strong core facilities and scientific resources.

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. or equivalent, or M.D. or equivalent; strong publication record; excellent communication and teamwork; ability to lead an independent project and contribute to collaborative research. Experience with advanced microscopy, animal models, cell biology, and molecular biology techniques such as cloning, viral vector application, CRISPR, and mutagenesis is preferred.

Funding: Training position with a starting stipend of $67,200. The appointment is full-time and in-person.

How to apply: Submit your CV/resume via the posting. For additional information, contact Chris Westlake at [email protected].
