    About the Job


    The Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism offers training in aging research, focusing on the Geroscience hypothesis: that systemic aging is the primary risk factor for virtually all age-related chronic diseases including neurodegenerative diseases.

    The labs us murine models of disease to interrogate fundamental mechanisms of aging that contribute to aging using genetic and pharmacologic approaches.

    The training opportunities are excellent and interdisciplinary, providing mentoring opportunities, journal clubs, seminar series, and training in ethics, rigor and reproducibility.

    Currently there are no openings for postdoctoral researchers, but we will have openings in the next several months. If you'd like to be considered, please apply submit your CV/resume and we retain your information.

    The University of Minnesota's Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism is an interdisciplinary, trans-departmental endeavor across the University of Minnesota Medical School to advance research on the fundamental biology of aging.

    We are embracing the Geroscience approach to aging research.

    This stems from the knowledge that old age is the greatest risk factor for most chronic diseases, often by orders of magnitude.

    This includes diabetes, osteoarthritis, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.

    For decades, we have avidly managed disease risk factors, such as high cholesterol and blood pressure, yet ignored the greatest risk factor for disease:
    being old.

    Geroscientists aim to discover fundamental mechanisms of aging that can be therapeutically targeted to diminish the risk of all diseases of old age with a single intervention of old age with a single intervention.
