The University of Miami’s Biochemistry & Molecular Biology department is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral associate for research in HIV-1 and drug-induced injury mechanisms affecting the brain endothelium and the blood-brain barrier. The successful candidate will join an academic medical center environment at the University of Miami Health System and contribute to a project that combines molecular and cellular biology, virology, and animal-based studies. The role involves conducting cell cult...

Postdoctoral Fellow: DNA Replication Stress in Cancer The Zou Laboratory in the Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology at Duke University School of Medicine is seeking a full-time postdoctoral fellow to investigate how DNA replication stress arises and functions in cancer cells. The project will examine the molecular mechanisms that drive replication stress and use those insights to support the development of new cancer therapies. The fellow will design and conduct experiments addressing ...

The Ayala lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral scientist to join research on how RNA-binding protein function is regulated and how dysregulation contributes to neurodegenerative disorders. The project sits within a medical research environment at Saint Louis University and is centered on protein biochemistry, cell biology, and tissue culture. The lab is interested in protein–RNA interactions and their cellular consequences, with an emphasis on mechanisms that connect RNA-bi...

The Department of Physiology & Biophysics at Howard University College of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to contribute to research on pregnancy-related disorders, including gestational diabetes mellitus, and the long-term effects on maternal and offspring health. The project is centered on understanding how these conditions may shape later outcomes such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. The research uses a broad set of experimental approaches across primary cells, cell...

The postdoctoral researcher will join the Dudka Lab at Lehigh University to lead experimental work on the evolutionary mechanisms that shape chromosome segregation in mammals. The project centers on how rapid evolution affects centromere biology, genome stability, and female reproduction, using systems such as mouse oocytes, preimplantation embryos, hybrid mouse models, and mammalian tissue culture cells. The role combines independent and collaborative research across several experimental approa...

The Meng Lab at Virginia Tech is seeking a postdoctoral associate to study how hepatitis E virus infects across species barriers and jumps from animals to humans. The project is centered on understanding the mechanisms that shape cross-species transmission, with the successful candidate working independently in a multidisciplinary environment under the supervision of a molecular virologist and a chemical engineer. The research sits at the intersection of virology, cell biology, and translational...

The Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Immunology in the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, School of Medicine, at the University of California, Irvine anticipates future openings for a postdoctoral scholar in immunology, virology, and vaccine development. This research environment is centered in Ophthalmology Research at UC Irvine and draws on interdisciplinary approaches spanning genomics, bioinformatics, RNA sequencing, CyTOF, FACS, advanced imaging, biochemistry, immunology, and cell biology. Th...

The Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the University of California, Irvine is advertising occasional postdoctoral scholar opportunities throughout the year. The postdoctoral scholar will conduct research under the general oversight of a faculty mentor in a full-time training appointment designed to prepare candidates for future careers in academia, industry, government, or the nonprofit sector. This opening is based in the School of Medicine at UC Irvine and is centered on res...
