About this position

This postdoctoral research associate position at Howard University focuses on federally funded research in cell-cell communication during tissue patterning using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model system.

The successful candidate will join a research environment centered on the study of Notch signaling and its role in cell morphology. The appointee will work on ongoing projects, help advance an existing research direction, and also contribute to developing new lines of investigation under mentorship from the principal investigator. The role combines independent project ownership with collaborative experimental work in the laboratory.

Day-to-day work includes planning and running experiments, analyzing data, presenting results in lab meetings and conferences, and contributing to lab training and routine team activities. The post is positioned within a research-oriented university environment and involves interaction with faculty, students, and external research partners.

The advert emphasizes advanced wet-lab biology experience and highlights Drosophila research as especially relevant to the project.

Funding details

Current funding is for a one-year appointment; salary range disclosed as $52,500-$62,500.

What's required

Doctorate (PhD) in Biology or a closely related field is required. Applicants that are ABD should have a graduation plan. Experience with Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) is strongly preferred. Preferred background includes advanced wet laboratory biology research in Molecular Biology, Genetics, or Cell and Developmental Biology, plus experience with FIJI/ImageJ or other imaging software, statistical analysis, and word processing. Strong oral and written English, good organization, attention to detail, and ability to work as part of a team are expected.

How to apply

Apply through the Howard University Workday posting. Submit the required application materials via the application link provided in the advert. Follow any instructions in the posting and prepare to document your PhD or ABD graduation plan.
