Position Summary The Newman lab studies how signaling metabolites influence aging and applies these insights to clinical problems. We seek a motivated, creative scientist to work on projects ranging from biochemistry to translational applications in a vibrant and supportive research atmosphere guided by a physician-scientist mentor. This is a 100% onsite position.
Position Description
This role focuses on studying aging mechanisms using biospecimens from clinical trials and cohorts. Projects include:
- Testing biological proof of concept for interventions.
- Studying aging biomarkers in conditions linked to accelerated aging.
- Exploring the role of aging biology in geriatric syndromes.
Key responsibilities of this position include:
- Processing biospecimens and analyzing complex multiomic datasets.
- Validating findings in preclinical models.
- Contributing to research grants and scientific publications.
- Potential opportunities to participate in human clinical studies.
A strong lab background is required, though training in additional skills will be provided to support a career in translational research. This work is highly collaborative with other labs, core facilities, and clinical research teams.
Compensation, Benefits & Additional Information
- Exciting, collaborative research using state-of-the-art techniques.
- Starting salary $71,845 in 2025, based on experience and postdoc level.
- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, paid parental leave, vacation/sick, and 401(k) with 5% employer match & student loan repayment.
