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.
