Job Opportunity

We are seeking highly motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to join our team at the Buck Institute, a leading institution in the field of aging and age-related diseases. Our laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which nutrients modulate aging and age-related diseases, using an interdisciplinary approach combining genetic, pharmacological, biochemical, and genomic approaches in invertebrate model systems and mammalian cells.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, including the use of bioinformatic approaches to study the role of circadian clocks and nutrient-responsive pathways influencing eye and neuronal degeneration using flies and conserved orthologs from humans. Our team is highly collaborative, and we offer strong mentorship and support to write grants and manuscripts.

Qualifications

  • Previous background in fly or bioinformatics approaches is an advantage but not essential.
  • Willingness to write grants and manuscripts is a pre-requisite.

Benefits

  • The starting salary for a new postdoc at the Buck is $70,140 in 2024, with a range of up to $82,000 commensurate with postdoc level & experience.
  • Exciting, dynamic work environment at the forefront of science using state-of-the-art techniques.
  • Generous benefits package including health insurance, paid parental leave, childcare assistance, generous vacation/sick leave, and 401(k) with 5% employer match.
  • Collaborative and dynamic environment both for science and social activities.

About the Buck Institute

The Buck Institute is a pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging, the number one risk factor for diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes. We aim to end the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede how we age.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and strive to create an atmosphere where diversity of identity, experience, and background are welcomed, valued, and supported. Candidates who contribute to this diversity are strongly encouraged to apply.
