Job
Postdoctoral Fellow
Organization
National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD
Scientific focus area
Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics and Genomics
The Epigenetics and Stem Cell Aging Unit (ESCU) within the Translational Gerontology Branch (TGB) at the NIA is at the forefront of groundbreaking research to restore function to aging tissues. By studying stem cell aging, we're working to develop therapies that can extend healthy lifespan and improve quality of life by defining and resetting alterations in the stem cells to restore function to the systems they regulate during aging.
About the position
We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral fellow to join our collaborative lab environment to pursue the understanding of mechanisms that drive stem cell functional loss, especially those associated with aging. Our team uses intervention studies to mitigate these aging changes and is working to understand how aging interventions such as caloric restriction, NAD+ supplementation, and reprogramming affect epigenetics, transcription, translation, and functional properties of adult stem cells.

Postdoctoral position at the NCI
A postdoctoral position is available at the DNA Replication Group (PI: Mirit I. Aladjem, Ph.D.), a part of the NCI’s Developmental Therapeutics Branch in Bethesda, Maryland. Our group aims to understand cellular networks that signal to and from chromatin to modulate DNA replication. Since many regulatory feedback pathways are deregulated in cancer cells, the results of these studies will help our understanding of cancer biology and the mechanisms underlying therapeutic strategies.

Staff Scientist
A Staff Scientist Position is open in the Synaptic Function Section at the NINDS, NIH. The selected candidate will lead multidisciplinary investigations into reprogramming mitochondrial trafficking and energy metabolism. These studies will leverage advanced imaging of living neurons derived from diseased mouse models and human iPSCs to elucidate mechanisms governing mitochondria positioning and energy metabolism, and the brain’s adaptative responses to dynamic energy stress.
