Post-Doctoral Position

Lab of Lynne Maquat, PhD
Director, Center for RNA Biology
Professor, Departments of Biochemistry & Biophysics, Oncology, and Pediatrics
School of Medicine and Dentistry

A Post-Doctoral Position is open in the Maquat Lab at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, NY. Applicants should hold a PhD or MD/PhD degree(s) and have expertise in molecular, cellular, or structural biology to study one of a number of ongoing projects, including but not limited to FMRP function in Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), or effectors of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay efficiency. A background in neurobiology and/or stem-cell biology would facilitate the work on FXS (see, e.g., https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-020-00618-1), and a background in computational biology would facilitate both projects, but neither is required.  

Interested individuals should submit:

1)    a complete curriculum vitae,
2)    the names and email addresses of three references (applicants should state their relationship to each), and
3)    a description of RNA research experience, including experimental approaches and technologies with which the applicant has experience.

The successful applicant will join a very productive, interactive lab and a lively, supportive RNA community that consists of more than 25 labs spanning the University of Rochester Medical Center and the adjacent Colleges of Arts, Sciences & Engineering. The Maquat lab offers an outstanding research environment, excellent opportunities to collaborate with basic scientists and clinicians, and a strong record of training post-docs for academic positions.
