Prior experience with mammalian cell culture and biophysical and biochemical characterization of proteins is required. Familiarity with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is a strong plus. Our Connecticut research campus is located in Groton, CT approximately two hours from both Boston and New York City. Postdoctoral Fellow Position in USA
Your scientific research will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a dynamic pharmaceutical industry environment, to work with and influence fellow scientists across other disciplines. You will be expected to deliver the results of your novel research internally via various working groups, via external conferences and through publications in high quality scientific journals.
Research/Job Area- Pfizer Cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a related field
Location- Pfizer, Structural and Molecular Sciences group, USA
Eligibility/Qualification–
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Recent Ph.D. in cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry or a related field
- Strong track record of scientific publications
- Hands-on experience with basic cell biology and biochemistry, including cell culture, cell isolation, immunoblotting, biophysical characterization
- Excellent communication and organizational skills, willingness to learn new skills, and demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a team
- Produce high impact publications in peer reviewed journals
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Familiarity with the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS)
- General molecular biology skills (Construct design, PCR etc…)
