Postdoctoral Fellow

Our lab studies intracellular signal transduction regulated by the Ca2+-binding protein calmodulin and the scaffold protein IQGAP1. Current projects seek to identify new binding partners to those proteins and to explore the biological implications of these interactions in cell function, physiology, and disease (including cancer and diabetes). The research integrates a diverse array of cell biology, biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques. Our laboratory is located on the National Institutes of Health main campus (Bethesda, MD, USA). The laboratory is fully equipped with standard molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology instruments. The candidate will also have access to state-of-the-art on-site facilities for biological imaging, animal handling, biophysics and proteomics among others. Additionally, the NIH Intramural Research Program has a diverse array of seminars by guest speakers and training programs (grant writing, professional development, etc.). The position is fully funded for up to five years.

A background in cell biology, biochemistry and/or molecular biology is preferred, although applications from individuals with experience in other areas of biology are also invited. All applicants must have a Ph.D. and fewer than three years of postdoctoral experience.

U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply. NIH welcomes foreign nationals with the exception of individuals from this list.
