Recruitment / Posting Title Postdoctoral Associate (Multiple Positions)
Job Category Staff & Executive - Research (Laboratory/Non‑Laboratory)
Department RWJ - Biochemistry & Molecular
Overview New Jersey’s academic health center, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences (RBHS) takes an integrated approach to educating students, providing clinical care, and conducting research, all with the goal of improving human health. Aligned with Rutgers University–New Brunswick and collaborating university‑wide, RBHS includes eight schools, a behavioral health network, and five centers and institutes that focus on cancer treatment and research, neuroscience, advanced biotechnology and medicine, environmental and occupational health, and health care policy and aging research.
Our faculty are teachers, clinicians, and scientists with unparalleled experience who advance medical innovation and provide patient care informed by the latest research findings. We offer an outstanding education in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, nursing, biomedical research, and the full spectrum of allied health careers.
Our clinical and academic facilities are located throughout the state—at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, including Piscataway; and at locations in Newark, Scotch Plains, Somerset, Stratford, and other locations. Clinical partners include Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, Newark’s University Hospital in Newark, and other affiliates.
Through this community of healers, scientists, and scholars, Rutgers is equipped as never before to transform lives.
Posting Summary Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate for the department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The Mickolajczyk laboratory is recruiting Postdoctoral Associates to engage in ongoing research projects that study the mechanisms of pre‑ribosome maturation by motor proteins and regulation and substrate‑targeting by ATPase enzymes in ribosome biogenesis. The main project involves investigating how motor proteins convert the energy from ATP hydrolysis into mechanical work to promote pre‑ribosomal folding. Assays developed will benchmark wildtype versus disease‑derived mutants of motor proteins to investigate the molecular bases of ribosomopathies and other ribosome‑dependent diseases. The Postdoctoral Associate will also participate in ongoing collaborative projects and may spearhead new projects within the lab.
Responsibilities
Engage in scientific communication, training of junior personnel, grant writing, and manuscript preparation.
Participate in the evaluation of existing procedures, suggesting revisions where necessary and proposing new procedures where required.
Contribute to the development of performance standards, selection of methodology, and coordination of analytical, biochemical, physiology, and instrumentation functions with research areas.
Maintain accurate records of laboratory notebooks and research activity; review literature and prepare manuscripts and abstracts for submission; present findings at national meetings.
May also mentor graduate/undergraduate students.
Qualifications Minimum Education and Experience
Post doctoral degree preferably in biochemistry, biophysics, bioengineering, or a related life science field, and significant experience in biochemical and molecular biology methods to study proteins and RNA.
Candidates in ABD status (all but degree) will also be considered.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
The ideal candidate is energetic, collegial, detail‑oriented, and organized.
Preferred Qualifications
Previous experience in single‑molecule biophysics is strongly preferred.
Salary Details Salary Details: $63,968.18
Minimum Salary: $20,000
Mid Range Salary: $90,000
Maximum Salary: $200,000
The final salary offer may be determined by several factors, including but not limited to the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and expertise, and availability of department or grant funds to support the position.
Benefits
Medical, prescription drug, and dental coverage
Paid vacation, holidays, and various leave programs
Competitive retirement benefits, including defined contribution plans and voluntary tax‑deferred savings options
Employee and dependent educational benefits (when applicable)
Life insurance coverage
Employee discount programs
Position Status Full Time
Working Hours 37.5 / week
Work Arrangement This position requires a fully on‑site work arrangement.
Physical Demands and Work Environment
