Job Description:

Classification Title: Post Doctoral Associate
Job Description:

The Xiao lab mainly uses C. elegans as the model organism to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms on how environmental factors such as diets, social cues, and temperature modulate animal aging. In particular, the functions of sensory system in the environmental modulation of aging process will be vigorously investigated. To address these questions, multidisciplinary approaches including molecular genetics, protein biochemistry, behavioral analysis, calcium imaging, and electrophysiology will be applied. Highly motivated and hardworking postdoctoral candidates with strong background in any of these fields are encouraged to apply. Previous experience with C. elegans research and/or molecular biology is preferred but not required. The successful candidate will actively interact with a vibrant research team composed of the PI, research faculty, other postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, lab technicians, and undergraduate researchers.

Expected Salary:

$56,484 commensurate with education and experience.

Minimum Requirements:

Applicant must be a Ph.D. candidate or recent Ph.D. graduate in a relatable field.
Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with molecular mechanisms on how environmental factors such as diets, social cues, and temperature modulate animal aging. In particular, the functions of sensory system in the environmental modulation of aging process.

A background including multidisciplinary approaches including molecular genetics, protein biochemistry, behavioral analysis, calcium imaging, and electrophysiology.
Special Instructions to Applicants:

Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae.

Application review will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

The final candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered “official” if a designation of “Issued to Student” is visible. Degrees earned from an education institution outside of the United States are required to be evaluated by a professional credentialing service provider approved by National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), which can be found at http://www.naces.org/.
