About this position
The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate for a collaborative, co-mentored program in the Vaziri-Bowser laboratories.
The postdoctoral researcher will investigate fundamental mechanisms of the DNA damage response, cell-cycle regulation, genome maintenance, and genome stability, with implications for cancer biology, carcinogenesis, and therapeutic response. The role offers dual academic mentorship from Professor Cyrus Vaziri and Dr. Jessica Bowser, along with interdisciplinary collaborations with UNC’s Center for Integrative Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery and Metabolomics and Exposome Laboratory.
Applicants must hold an MD or PhD in biological science or a related discipline and have experience in DNA damage and cell-cycle fields. Relevant expertise includes molecular and cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, DNA cloning, mutagenesis, protein expression, gene editing, imaging, flow cytometry, statistical analysis, and publication-quality scientific communication.
The appointment is based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States. It is full-time, 40 hours per week, with a 12-month estimated duration and minimum laboratory attendance from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Occasional evenings and weekends may be required for experimental continuity. UNC provides postdoctoral medical and vision coverage, paid leave, and professional-development benefits. The hiring range depends on experience and qualifications.
