Boston Postdoc Positions Available: cell-level insights into zebrafish skeleton shape and patterning

Posted by , on 20 September 2022

Location: Boston MA

Closing Date: 30 December 2022

The McMenamin Lab at Boston College is hiring postdocs!

Our lab is motivated by questions of basic developmental mechanisms and evolutionary adaptation, and we study how fish fin shapes are established during development and recreated during regeneration. We have current NIH (MIRA) and NSF (CAREER) funding, giving us exceptional support to pursue curiosity-driven questions.

This is a top-tier environment in which a postdoc can develop and grow an independent research program. The McMenamin Lab is a supportive group with outstanding designated facilities and resources. Previous postdocs in our lab have attracted independent funding and have gone on to successful positions. Postdocs will be encouraged to form structured guidance committees and will have opportunities to teach and mentor, if desired. Our lab is a diverse group of scholars committed to DEI efforts, and we encourage applications from underrepresented scientists.

Boston College is an R1 University with an engaged growing postdoctoral community and excellent managed core resources, including single-cell 10x Genomics and other next-gen sequencing, mass-spectrometry and imaging for developing your project. We offer great benefits, competitive salary, relocation costs, extensive travel funds and many internal & external career development opportunities.

An ideal candidate will have expertise in single cell and epigenetic methods or tissue-specific knockouts, as well as a fundamental interest in skeletal patterning.

Please send a cover letter and CV to mcmenams@bc.edu to apply!
