Postdoctoral Fellow jobs in the United States

The Section on DNA Replication, Repair, and Mutagenesis utilizes several model organisms to understand the role of low-fidelity DNA polymerases in genome (in)stability. Current projects include investigating their roles in the evolution of antibiotic resistance in bacteria; the promotion of mutagenesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis; and the DNA polymerase iota in human cells.

Post-doctoral fellowship positions within the lab are open to individuals with fewer than 5 years of postdoctoral experience. Successful applicants will be expected to lead their own project as well as to contribute to collaborative research efforts in the lab.

Applicants should have a strong background in one, or more, of the following disciplines:

• Protein expression, purification, and characterization
• Cell and molecular biology techniques
• Mammalian cell culture

The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs and encourages the application and nomination of qualified women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities.
