Postdoctoral Research Associate The Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University currently has research positions available at the postdoctoral and more senior research levels in the areas of biochemistry, biophysics, cell biology, structural biology, microbiology, developmental biology, virology, genetics and cancer biology. Initial term is for one year with the possibility of reappointment based on satisfactory performance and continued funding. ... Postdoctoral Research Associate, Brooks Lab The Brooks lab in The Molecular Biology Department at Princeton University seeks to mechanistically determine how microbial cues promote innate and adaptive immune functions. We explore this question across both time and space as it occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. Our group is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate or more senior researcher to characterize the impact of microbial metabolites on animal immunity. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative group with strengths in cell biology, mouse genetics, and molecular biology. The P.I. is dedicated to providing a nurturing training environment with the acknowledgment that mentorship must be tailored to the individual. The ideal applicant will be highly motivated; have a Ph.D. degree; research experience in one or more of the following cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, and/or microbiology; excellent oral communication and writing skills, preferred. Postdoctoral Research Associate, Mesa Lab We are seeking an ambitious and driven Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct cutting-edge research at the intersection of immunology and regenerative medicine in the lab of Dr. Kai Mesa at Princeton University. The Mesa Lab has pioneered innovative intravital multiphoton imaging techniques, paired with advanced mouse genetic tools, to observe and manipulate immune cell behavior at the single-cell level in live animals. This groundbreaking approach has enabled real-time study of distinct macrophage populations, providing new insights into how these cells drive tissue repair and how aging impacts their function. By joining our team, you will contribute to transformative research that could directly influence therapies for age-related diseases and advance regenerative medicine.
