Postdoc: Membrane Lipids Shaping Cell Migration & Development

Sdbonline; Baltimore (MD); Hybrid; USD 52,000 - 76,000; Full time

Job summary

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to study how membrane-lipid composition affects cell migration and invasion. The successful candidate will lead a mentored, funded project combining chick embryology, cell culture and neural crest models with live microscopy and lipidomics.

Experience in developmental biology or cancer biology is valued; background in lipidomics or mass-spectrometry imaging is a plus.

Qualifications

• Strong foundation in experimental research.
• Background in developmental biology, cell biology, cancer biology, or related fields.

Responsibilities

• Lead a mentored project combining chick embryology, cell culture and stem-cell-derived neural crest models, live microscopy, lipidomics and spatial mass-spectrometry imaging.
• Utilize functional perturbation approaches to shape research questions aligned with lab goals.
• Collaborate with team to advance understanding of membrane-lipid composition in cell migration and invasion.
