About this position
Brown University's Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the Bartnikas Lab in Providence, Rhode Island.
The Bartnikas Lab investigates the molecular, biochemical, genetic, and physiological basis of metal homeostasis in the human body. The research examines how metals are acquired, distributed across tissues, recycled, and eliminated, as well as how disruptions in these processes contribute to human disease.
The postdoctoral researcher will work across in vivo and in vitro experimental systems to study metal metabolism and its relationship to disease mechanisms. The laboratory's work connects basic biological research with potential implications for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human disease. The research environment also emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific communication, grant development, and career progression.
Dr. Bartnikas places particular emphasis on developing researchers' communication and grantsmanship skills. The laboratory provides instruction in preparing research grant applications, with an expectation that postdoctoral researchers will pursue grant submissions after one or two years. The researcher will also contribute to manuscript preparation and mentor junior trainees in the laboratory.
Funding details
Salary will be based on Brown University's Minimum Pay Scale and will be commensurate with experience.
What's required
Applicants must have completed all requirements for a doctoral degree before starting the position, preferably in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, or a related field.
