SEARCH CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

We invite applications for postdoctoral scholar positions in the lab of Dr. Joel Richter.  Positions are currently open and available.  A strong commitment to research is essential, and alignment to the research interests of the faculty is preferred.  We study the molecular biology of mRNA translational control by cytoplasmic polyadenylation and how this process regulates neuronal synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory.  We investigate how neurologic diseases such as Fragile X and other autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are regulated at the translational level.  Additional information on the research program can be found at https://profiles.umassmed.edu/display/133116.

A Ph.D. in Molecular Biology or related fields is required. Computational biology study and/or experience is preferred.
