    Position Summary


    Postdoctoral Research Opportunity: Lipid Biology, Cell Death, and Evolutionary Genomics.


    We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to join our collaborative research program at the intersection of lipid biology, cell death, and evolutionary genomics. The project, primarily led by the Atilla Laboratory (Department of Chemistry), investigates how lipid signaling and membrane dynamics regulate necroptotic cell death and its inflammatory consequences, using state-of-the-art approaches in lipidomics, chemical biology, and advanced imaging. The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate closely with the Gokcumen Laboratory (Department of Biological Sciences), which focuses on evolutionary and bioinformatics approaches, to explore how lipid-related genes and necroptotic pathways have evolved across species.

    This integrative research program offers a unique opportunity to lead innovative projects that bridge mechanistic cell biology with evolutionary insight, linking genomic variation to specific, lipid-related biological traits.

    Duties may include, but are not limited to:



      • organize and implement research plans

      • develop methods or research that incorporate highly specialized training in a specific specialty

      • conduct tests procedures and engage in data collection

      • analyze, evaluate, and present findings in professional journals and at professional conferences and meetings



    The ideal candidate will have a background in cell biology, lipidomics, evolutionary genomics, or bioinformatics. More importantly, we are seeking an individual with a strong interest in learning and integrating across these disciplines. This is an excellent opportunity to expand computational skillset and engage in truly interdisciplinary science.
