Postdoc: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Development & Signaling

The Jackson Laboratory; Bar Harbor (ME); On-site; USD 66,000 - 76,000; Full time

Job summary

The Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, ME seeks a Postdoctoral Associate in Bennett Lab to drive independent research on hematopoietic stem cell development. You will explore TGF-β/BMP signaling effects and single-cell barcoding to map HSC maturation, with opportunities for manuscript authorship and collaboration across programs.

The role emphasizes mentorship of junior staff, collaborative teamwork, and career development toward academia or industry within a prestigious biomedical research

Qualifications

• Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in biological sciences or related discipline.
• First-author publication from graduate studies or prior postdoctoral work.
• Strong foundational training in molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, or stem cell biology.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently as well as collaboratively.

Responsibilities

• Plan, develop, execute, and analyze an independent research project within the lab's focus areas.
• Investigate how TGF-β/BMP signaling regulates pre-HSC maturation or map transcriptional states of developmental HSC emergence using single-cell and clonal barcoding.
• Prepare manuscripts, fellowship applications, and conference presentations.
• Mentor junior lab members and contribute to a collaborative team environment.
