Postdoctoral Fellow - Molecular Dynamics Lab

About the role

The Molecular Dynamics Lab at the Center for Integrative Brain Research, Seattle Children's Research Institute, is seeking a postdoctoral position. Projects focus on protein interaction dynamics in neuronal excitatory synapses, mTOR pathways, and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells. The lab aims to advance the study of signal transduction using quantitative multiplexed co-immunoprecipitation (QMI) technology.

Responsibilities

• Perform precise wetlab work and complex bioinformatics analyses using MatLab and R programming.
• Work closely with technicians and students to advance projects, write papers, and apply for grants.
• Contribute to the lab's research goals, particularly in synaptic transmission in neurospychiatric disease, mTOR signaling in neurons, or CAR T cell signal transduction.

Requirements

• Doctorate degree (PhD/DVM/MD) in specialty area from an accredited university.
• Experience using basic research techniques in specialty area.
• Prior experience in molecular biology, neurobiology, T cell immunology, and/or working with mouse models of neuropsychiatric disease is a plus.

Qualifications

• Creative, big-picture thinking and dedication to academic research are essential.

Skills

• Ability to perform precise wetlab work.
• Complex bioinformatics analyses using MatLab and R programming.
