Division of Intramural Research (DIR)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
A postdoctoral position is available in the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch (BCBB) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH, in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, under Dr. Clarice Weinberg.
Intramural Research Division (DIR)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
The Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory / Calcium Signaling in Health and Disease Group at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an interdisciplinary research program. The program focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms that drive immune cell activation—particularly, though not exclusively, in the lung—and how these pathways become dysregulated in diseases such as asthma.
Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
The Division of Translational Toxicology at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an interdisciplinary research program focused on developing advanced in vitro and computational models for fibrotic diseases.
Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the Mechanistic Toxicology Branch in the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. This is a project focused, laboratory-based position, centered on characterizing the endocrine-disrupting chemical exposome and bioactivity in serum from North Carolina women using molecular biology, metabolomics/exposomics, and in vitro approaches to better understand the impact of chemical mixture exposures on human health.
Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
A postdoctoral fellowship to develop, qualify and apply microphysiological systems (MPS) of human liver that emulate toxicity-induced liver fibrosis and states of interindividual susceptibility (e.g., male/female, age, pre-existing disease) is immediately available within the Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Intramural Research Division (DIR)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
The Division of Intramural Research at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), NIH, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join an interdisciplinary research program focused on metabolic and epigenetic regulation of cellular functions and animal physiology in response to environmental changes.
Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
The Molecular Pathogenesis Group (MPG) in MTB, DTT at NIEHS is interested in finding a creative scientist to work with us on understanding molecular mechanisms of how environmental chemicals, metals, and other factors may impact women’s reproductive health.
Division of Intramural Research (DIR)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Fully funded postdoctoral position available in Dr. Julieta Lischinsky’s lab at the NIEHS/NIH in North Carolina. We are looking for motivated candidates who are interested in pursuing questions geared towards the understanding of the molecular and circuit underpinnings of social behaviors. How is social sensory information encoded and innate social behaviors established across postnatal development and adulthood? We use in vivo tools including single and multi-fiber photometry, optogenetics, pharmacogenetics, viral tracing, and behavioral paradigms towards answering these questions. Postdoctoral fellows will benefit from mentoring and team-based science as well as opportunities to share their work within the Institute and at conferences. Additionally, fellows can take advantage of the vibrant research community and resources offered by the NIEHS/NIH, including career development opportunities, and the behavioral, viral, sequencing and microscopy core facilities
Intramural Research Division (DIR)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
We are seeking multiple talented and motivated postdoctoral fellows with training and experience in environmental health sciences, epidemiology, or biostatistics for a position in the Perinatal and Early Life Epidemiology Group in the Epidemiology Branch at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Durham, North Carolina. The successful candidates will have a strong background in epidemiology, including experience with statistical modeling. Experience in environmental health sciences and biomarker studies is beneficial but not required.
Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Stem Cells Toxicology Group of the Mechanistic Toxicology Branch (MTB) in the Division of Translational Toxicology Program (DTT) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The research project will use pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) for the development and application of cardiac and cerebral organoids for studying chemically induced fibrosis.
Division of Extramural Research and Training (DERT)
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
A post-doctoral research fellowship position is available in Community Engagement and Implementation Science. This position offers a unique opportunity to advance community-engaged science across the research-to-practice continuum, and to conduct cutting edge environmental health research that enhances the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based solutions directly benefiting community health. The Research Triangle Park area of North Carolina provides excellent networking and career development opportunities.
