Postdoctoral Researcher - Newman lab (clinical)
Location: 8001 Redwood Blvd., NOVATO, CA 94945, United States Job Posted Date: February 27, 2025 Population: Life Sciences Position Summary
The
Newman Lab
studies how signaling metabolites regulate aging mechanisms and applies these insights to address key
clinical challenges . We seek a motivated and creative scientist to lead projects spanning biochemistry to translational applications in a dynamic and collaborative environment, under the mentorship of a physician-scientist. This is a 100% on-site position. Position Description
We are engaged in multiple projects exploring aging biology within biospecimen-rich clinical trials and cohorts. Our objectives include: Evaluating biological proof-of-concept for interventions, such as ketone esters, that may modulate aging mechanisms. Analyzing biomarkers of aging in clinical cohorts with accelerated aging conditions. Investigating the role of aging biology in geriatric syndromes. The selected candidate will take on an operational leadership role in an ongoing or new geroscience clinical study. Responsibilities include managing day-to-day study activities, leading data and biospecimen analyses, and contributing to grant writing and scientific publications. This role involves: Biospecimen processing and analysis. Bioinformatic analysis of complex multi-omic datasets. Close collaboration with bench scientists, core facilities, and external clinical research partners. This position provides training opportunities to develop expertise in translational research, preparing the candidate for a career in this field. Benefits
Opportunity to work in a cutting-edge, collaborative research environment using state-of-the-art techniques. Competitive 2025 salary: Starting at $71,845 - $80,000, commensurate with experience. Generous benefits package, including: Health insurance Paid parental leave Vacation & sick leave 401(k) with 5% employer match and student loan option Visa sponsorship is not available. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or green card holder. Candidates must reside within a reasonable commuting distance on their first day of work. Job Requirements
MD and/or PhD in Epidemiology, Clinical Research, Translational Science, or a related field. Strong communication skills and ability to thrive in collaborative team environments. Proven ability to independently manage a research project. Self-motivated with a passion for continuous learning and skill development. Extensive experience in clinical research, including study design, regulatory approvals, participant visits, and logistics management. Basic bench laboratory skills, including: DNA, RNA, and protein isolation PCR, Western blotting, electrophoresis Prior coding or bioinformatics experience is a plus. Deep interest in aging science and translational interventions aimed at extending human healthspan. Strong aptitude for technology, translational medicine, and knowledge transfer. Ability to process, curate, and integrate in-house and public domain datasets. Experience in scientific writing, including research grants and publications. Brief statement of research interests and goals. Contact information for 2-3 references familiar with your scientific work. Letter of support from your PhD or prior postdoctoral adviser. Our success will ultimately change healthcare. At the Buck, we aim to end the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede the ways in which we age. We are an independent, nonprofit institution located in Marin County, CA, with the goal of increasing human healthspan, or the healthy years of life. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging—the number one risk factor for diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes—the Buck seeks to help people live better longer.
