Postdoctoral Scientist Mitochondrial Biology Location: University of Pennsylvania - Perelman School of Medicine Open Date: Mar 13, 2026 Deadline: Postdoctoral Scientist - Mitochondrial Biology About the Lab: The Bomba-Warczak Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is recruiting creative, collaborative, and highly independent Postdoctoral Scientists to lead new research projects in mitochondrial biology. Our lab investigates how mitochondria are maintained and renewed in long-lived mammalian cells, with a particular interest in how organelle function is sustained over extended timescales in complex tissues. We integrate mouse models, quantitative biochemistry, stable-isotope tracing, and mass-spectrometry-based omics to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern mitochondrial maintenance, bioenergetics, and cellular resilience. Learn more about the lab at bombawarczaklab.com Projects will be tailored to the interests of the successful candidate within...

Postdoc in Biomedical Sciences Location: University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine Open Date: Sep 10, 2025 Deadline: Modzelewski Lab (The Modz Lab) at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Biomedical Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine is recruiting Postdoctoral researcher(s) to join a new NIH-NIGMS, Beckman, Searle and Packard funded project. Our work focuses on the exciting and emerging role of retrotransposons in early development (and beyond). We are looking at how retrotransposons impact reproduction and preimplantation development in mice but with comparative biology studies using various placental mammalian species to learn about human health, reproduction and disease of aging and cancer. The lab has two major but linked focuses: Developmental Biology and Genome Editing. Almost 50% of all mammalian genomes originate from ancient integrations of viruses and repetitive elements. While silenced in nearly all cells, "Retrotransposon...
