The Johnson Lab has multiple postdoc positions open, beginning May 2022, funded by NIH and NSF grants. We are dedicated to multi-faceted postdoc career development. This includes scientific training at the bench to develop and carry out an engaging scientific project with opportunities for independent paths. We also fully support the growth of postdocs in their desired career goals, within the spectrum of academic research, teaching, or industry through fostering larger mentoring networks and engagement with resources of the CU-Anschutz Career Development Office. Postdocs in the lab have been individually-funded by external fellowships (including K99, DOD) and internal T32 positions, publish well, and get great exposure by speaking at conferences.
Potential projects include:
If you are interested in balancing research with gaining skills in undergraduate teaching, Aaron co-directs a funded, structured program for postdocs to get training and experience in undergraduate teaching and to shadow faculty from primarily-undergraduate institutions in the area.
Our lab is in the Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics Department, which is a dynamic, collaborative and collegial community providing opportunities for additional scientific feedback for trainees in venues such as departmental chalk talks and internal seminars showcasing novel unpublished data.
If you are interested in interviewing for a postdoc, contact Aaron directly at [email protected]. Please send a CV and describe specific research interests, making connections to your own prior expertise from your PhD. Without this specificity, you may not get a reply, because it may seem like an automatically-generated form letter.
Potential projects include:
- Mechanisms of RNA-mediated gene regulation in normal biology and breast cancer, focusing on long noncoding RNAs, epitranscriptomics, and epigenetics.
- Heterochromatin form and function in human genetic diseases.
- Fundamental structure-function investigations of the spreading of heterochromatin, making connections to genome-wide epigenetic regulation, taking advantage of the depth of yeast genetic studies of silent chromatin.
