Postdoc Opportunities in Genetics

The Babraham Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to study the role of extracellular proteostasis in healthy ageing and host defence against pathogens. The project addresses mechanisms that maintain protein quality outside cells and prevent protein aggregation, a process associated with age-related functional decline and diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. The successful researcher will join the David group within the Institute’s Signalling Programme, a collaborative resea...

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is offering an NRSA postdoctoral research fellowship in the Genetic Epidemiology of Heart, Lung, and Blood Traits Program within the Department of Epidemiology at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. The fellowship focuses on genetic epidemiology of heart, lung, and blood traits, combining substantive and methodological training to investigate health and disease patterns and related phenotypes. The postdoctoral fellow will develop expertise...

The University of Oslo’s Centre for Precision Psychiatry, within the Institute of Clinical Medicine, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the Research Council of Norway-funded ResiliDem project. The project investigates resilience and risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by integrating large-scale human genetic data with phenotypic, environmental, lifestyle, and registry-based information. The researcher will work at the intersection of precision medicine, statistical d...

The Matos laboratory at the Max Perutz Labs, University of Vienna , is seeking a Senior Scientist for mechanistic research into DNA repair, homologous recombination, meiotic crossover formation and chromosome biology. The successful researcher will take a leading role in projects investigating how recombination intermediates are formed and processed, how meiotic crossovers are generated, and how chromosome architecture and recombination are coordinated during gametogenesis. The laboratory works ...

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 ment...

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 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...

This postdoctoral position is based in Scarlet Shell’s lab in the Department of Biology & Biotechnology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The project centers on how Mycobacterium tuberculosis manages the relationship between RNA metabolism and mutation tolerance, with a particular focus on the ways this pathogen mitigates fitness costs caused by mutations selected during antibiotic exposure and other infection-related stressors. The successful fellow will contribute to a research program...

The University of California, Irvine and the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation are offering a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in ophthalmology research through the School of Medicine. The fellowship is centered on the biology and pathology of the visual system and is designed for exceptional researchers working on innovative, interdisciplinary projects that connect medical science with chemical, biochemical, structural biology, and genetic approaches. Fellows will join the Brunson Center for ...
