Discovery Postdoctoral Fellow, Diseases of Aging and Regenerative Medicine (DARe)

Key Responsibilities

• Design and execute independent, hypothesis-driven research programs aligned with strategic disease biology questions.
• Develop and apply advanced in vitro and in vivo model systems to investigate how age-associated changes in the immune system influence tissue function, repair, and regeneration.
• Design, perform, and interpret molecular, cellular, and in vivo experiments to uncover mechanisms linking aging to tissue dysfunction.
• Develop innovative experimental and analytical approaches to investigate mechanisms of tissue regeneration, aging, and cellular plasticity.
• Communicate scientific findings through publications, internal meetings, and external scientific conference presentations.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams spanning regenerative biology, immunology, data science, screening sciences, translational research, and therapeutic area biology.

Essential Requirements

• PhD (or equivalent doctoral degree) in a relevant scientific discipline completed prior to the fellowship start date (PhD conferred in 2026 only).
• Strong background in immunology, aging biology, regenerative biology, developmental biology, stem cell biology, cell biology, or related discipline.
• Ability to conduct mechanistic studies to generate, test, and validate biological hypotheses.
• Demonstrated record of scientific achievement (publications, presentations, patents, or equivalent) and ability to independently drive research projects.
• Strong commitment to learning, innovation, and professional development.
• Hands-on experience in molecular, cellular, and in vivo biology (cell/organoid/ex vivo culture; imaging; phenotypic analysis; genetic perturbation; assay development).
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a matrix environment.

Desirable Requirements

• Experience investigating tissue-immune interactions in aging, regeneration, or disease.
• Experience with animal models, tissue harvesting, and downstream tissue profiling.

Compensation & Benefits

• Starting salary: $87,000 USD per year.
