Postdoctoral Scientist – Epigenetic Mechanisms, Marine Biological Laboratory, USA

Postdoctoral Scientist – Epigenetic Mechanisms: The Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA, is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scientist to investigate the cellular, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms underlying maternal age effects on offspring health and lifespan. This NIH-funded project, led by Dr. Kristin Gribble, focuses on elucidating the role of mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in maternal age effects using molecular, bioinformatic, biochemical, and imaging techniques. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research team and contribute to advancing our understanding of aging biology.
