PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in United States

Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate for the Erdogan Lab in the Department of Translational Dental Medicine. Based at the Boston University Medical Campus, the NIH-funded laboratory investigates how neuro-immune responses and interactions shape pain, infection, and tissue repair in barrier tissues of the oral cavity. The research program operates at the interface of neurobiology, immunology, microbiology, oral biology, and translat...

The Yarrow Lab is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in spinal cord injury (SCI) and aging research . The fellow will contribute to the upcoming multisite TRT-SCI clinical trial and other VA- and DoD-funded studies focused on SCI. The fellowship is based through the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System and the Eastern Colorado Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), within the Advanced Fellowship in Aging program. Research may be conducted at the VA Eastern Colorado Health Car...

The University of Chicago is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow in computational and systems biology for a project on developing statistical, machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods to reconstruct and interpret gene regulatory networks. The work will use computational approaches and high-dimensional biological data to advance network medicine and complex-systems research. The project is associated with PANDA and NetZoo, methodological frameworks for analyzing and interpreting gene re...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, is seeking postdoctoral fellows for its NIH-sponsored Childhood Hematological Malignancies Training Program. The program addresses childhood blood cancers, which remain a major cause of cancer-related death despite substantial improvements in survival. Postdoctoral researchers will investigate the genetic basis of childhood hematological malignancies and help translate genomic discoveries into experimental models and therapeutic advanc...

Auburn University’s College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, in partnership with the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance quantitative approaches for white-tailed deer conservation and management. The project will develop an integrated population modeling and management framework for deer in Alabama and the southeastern United States. The researcher will combine heterogeneous data sources—including harvest records, citize...

Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Nutritional Immunology to join the Okeke Lab in the Department of Biology in Boston. Led by Dr. Emeka Okeke, the lab investigates how nutrition and bioactive molecules influence immune function, inflammation, and host–microbiome interactions. The postdoctoral researcher will lead an interdisciplinary project focused on the anti-inflammatory properties of a bioactive, dietary-derived peptide. The research will define how the ...

Northeastern University’s BarabásiLab, led by Professor Albert-László Barabási, is seeking Postdoctoral Research Associates for interdisciplinary research in network science and its applications to nutrition, biology, medicine, machine learning, art, and science. The research spans food and nutrition networks, human diseases, disease progression, biomarker discovery, drug repurposing, network medicine, complex disease mechanisms, systems pharmacology, bioinformatics, and network science/statisti...

The Feres Lab in the Department of Oral Medicine, Infection, and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to work at the intersection of applied data science, machine learning, microbiology, and oral health. The fellow will join a multidisciplinary research environment involving dentists, microbiologists, and data scientists. The work spans Harvard School of Dental Medicine and the Core for Computational Biomedicine in the Department of Biomedical I...

The Johnson Lab in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas is offering a fully funded PhD position beginning in Fall 2027 in photosynthesis and global ecology. The project will link plant physiology experiments with satellite remote sensing and Earth system modeling to improve understanding of photosynthesis and the global carbon cycle. The doctoral researcher will work across experimental plant science, ecological analysis, remote sensing, and Earth system s...
