About this position

The Laboratory of Redox Biology and Signal Transduction at the University at Albany, SUNY, led by Associate Professor Benoit Boivin, is offering a fully funded postdoctoral researcher position starting between March and June 2026. The lab focuses on deciphering how redox modifications of proteins influence phosphorylation-dependent signal transduction in biology and pathologies, with a particular emphasis on protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). Research projects include understanding the oxidation mechanisms that control PTP activity in vivo, allosteric-site mediated activation of PTPs, and the molecular function of PTP1B in cardiac hypertrophy and insulin resistance. The ultimate goal is to develop strategies and technologies to restore physiological response in diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy, diabetes, and cancer.

The postdoctoral researcher will leverage expertise in structure-function biochemical studies and cell signaling research, relevant to cancer, metabolic, and cardiovascular diseases. The position involves investigating new mechanisms that activate PTPs and developing innovative therapeutic strategies targeting PTPs in vivo. The lab employs animal and cellular models, screening methods, and structure-function studies to understand how redox post-translational modifications affect protein function, enzymatic activity, and cellular signaling networks.

Applicants should have a strong background in biochemistry, cell signaling, and disease mechanisms, with demonstrated proficiency in experimental design, analysis, and critical evaluation. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential for collaboration within the multidisciplinary team. The lab is funded by the National Institutes of Health, and the position is fully funded. Interested candidates should send a C.V., presentation letter, and contact information for three references to Ben Boivin ([email protected]). For more information, visit the Boivin Lab website.
