 Postdoctoral Scholar- Biology of Aging - Department of Nutritional Science and Toxicology The Department of Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology at the University of California, Berkeley seeks Postdoctoral Scholars to join an interdisciplinary research team study and to work under the supervision of Professor Danica Chen, in the area of biology of aging, at 100% time with an expected start date of January 1, 2021 or later. One of the most fundamental questions in biology is how we age. The past decades have witnessed a significant revision of a traditional view that aging is simply a random and passive process that is solely driven by entropy. In fact, the aging process is regulated genetically and lifespan can be extended by single gene mutations. Our research aims to understand molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate the aging process and explore therapeutic targets to slow aging and even reverse aging-associated degeneration. The most intriguing aspect of pharmaceutical intervention that targets the aging pathways is that, instead of targeting a specific disease, it has the potential of ameliorating a wide array of seemingly unrelated diseases associated with aging, such as cancer, tissue degeneration, metabolic syndrome, and immune dysfunction. This position involves laboratory work on a daily basis. The employee will perform studies in the laboratory to examine the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate aging and diseases of aging using mouse models and cell culture. Specific duties of the position will include: Basic Qualifications (By time of application): Additional Qualifications (By start date): Preferred Qualifications (By start date): Appointment: This position reports to Dr. Danica Chen. The initial appointment will be at 100% time for one year with the possibility of extension based on satisfactory performance and availability of funding. Salary and Benefits: Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and based on UC Berkeley Postdoctoral salary scale. Generous benefits are included https://vspa.berkeley.edu/postdocs (https://vspa.berkeley.edu/postdocs) To Apply: Visit: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF02790 (https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF02790) Specific questions regarding the position can be directed to Professor Chen, danicac@berkeley.edu (mailto:danicac@berkeley.edu).
