Postdoctoral Fellow in Cell Biology, Chemical Biology, and Molecular Pharmacology at NIH NCATS National Institutes of Health in United States

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland and surrounding area.

This opening is centered on cell biology, chemical biology, and molecular pharmacology, with a strong translational science focus. The selected fellow will work with a multidisciplinary team on assay development, high-throughput and high-content screening, automation engineering, bioinformatics, and omics technologies. Research activities include designing and optimizing disease-relevant screening assays, implementing small-molecule screening programs, analyzing data, and carrying out mechanism-of-action studies to develop novel pharmacological probes.

Applicants should have or expect to receive a Ph.D. in cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology, or a related field, and must have less than three years of postdoctoral experience. Prior high-throughput screening experience is not required. The post is suitable for candidates who are independent, collaborative, and comfortable in a fast-paced, interactive research environment.

This is a postdoctoral fellowship at NIH NCATS. The post does not specify stipend or salary details. U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible, and NIH also welcomes foreign nationals except those on the excluded list.
