Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Chestnut Hill, United States - Boston College
Description
Boston College Introduction
Founded in 1863, Boston College is a Jesuit, Catholic university located six miles from downtown Boston with an enrollment of 9,484 full-time undergraduates and 5,250 graduate and professional students.
Ranked 35 among national universities, Boston College has 888 full-time and 1,281 FTE faculty, 2,711 non-faculty employees, an operating budget of $1.4 billion, and an endowment in excess of $3.5 billion.
Job Description
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Boston College seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral research fellow to work in the laboratory of Dr. Vicki Losick.
The Losick lab studies the cell and molecular mechanism of wound repair and aging using the fruit fly, Drosophila, as a model.
While the typical wound healing response relies on cell division to regenerate the cells that are lost by injury, aging, or disease.
Cells can also be replaced by stimulating existing cells to grow in size by becoming polyploid. A polyploid cell is a cell that has more than diploid copy of its chromosomes. As a result, polyploid cells can grow to be many orders of magnitude larger than their diploid cell counterparts.Polyploid cells are ubiquitous in insects and plants, but are also required for the development of many tissues in our body.
The Losick laboratory is currently studying the molecular mechanisms regulating wound- and age-induced polyploidy in fruit flies in order to understand how to generate these extra-large cells to improve our bodies ability to heal.
Requirements
This position will be funded by the P.I., but postdoctoral fellows are expected to apply for their own external fellowship funding.
Closing Statement
Boston College offers a broad and competitive range of benefits depending on your job classification eligibility:
