The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) has established six Core Competencies to offer guidance to individual postdoctoral scholars who must seek out relevant training experiences and to the mentors, institutions, and other advisors who provide this training.
Post Doctoral Fellow of Toxicology - Zychowski Lab
The Zychowski Laboratory (UNM-College of Nursing, Health Sciences) is seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to work in an exciting Environmental Toxicology research laboratory. The focus of our research involves examining basic biological mechanisms of air pollution exposures. We are also spearheading clinical and translational studies related to Environmental and Occupational Health. The ideal candidate will have a background in molecular biology, extracellular vesicle biology, mechanistic toxicology, immunology, molecular epidemiology, neuroscience and/or related scientific fields. The selected candidate will be responsible for assuming his/her own independent project, generate data, deliver seminars and write scientific manuscripts.
This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position. Contract eligible for renewal on an annual basis contingent on job performance and available funding. Salary is in accordance with the NIH Postdoctoral stipend scale.
For best consideration, please apply by 3/14/2024. This position will remain open until filled.
The Dean’s Fellow to Faculty Program in the Department of Genetics at Washington University School of Medicine rewards outstanding graduate student or early-stage postdoctoral researchers in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, or computational biology with the opportunity to create an independent research agenda in anticipation of joining the Genetics Department as an Assistant Professor on the tenure-track.
The program consists of a two-to-five-year Fellow phase followed by promotion to the Assistant Professor position. During the first phase, which can take place in any research lab at Washington University School of Medicine, Fellows will have the freedom to build their independent research program with guidance and support from their faculty mentor and a mentoring team as well as a generous research and professional development support package. While no formal benchmarks exist for transition to the Assistant Professor position, such as successful grant applications or published papers, Fellows are expected to pursue external funding and publish and present their research to facilitate their success as an independent scientist. After completing the mentored phase, the Fellow will transition directly into an Assistant Professor position in the Genetics Department with independent lab space, a competitive start up package, salary support, and 75% protected time for research. We expect the program to drive the success of the next generation of exceptional young scientists.
Application Instructions
Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact potential faculty mentors in any department at Washington University to assess their interest in hosting them during the Fellow Phase before they apply for the program. Applications should be submitted to Genetics-F2Fpgm@email.wustl.edu and must include the following items:
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis starting March 15, 2024. Chosen applicants will first be interviewed virtually, followed by an invitation for an in-person visit to present their research and to meet with relevant faculty members at Washington University.
For questions, queries, or informal discussion or guidance about the program, please email Dr. Jim Skeath at jskeath@WUSTL.EDU.
