Arc Institute is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Jain Lab in Palo Alto, CA.

The Jain Lab focuses on understanding how organisms interact with their environments, particularly in relation to oxygen and vitamin/cofactor metabolism.

As a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Jain Lab, you will:

• Explore new functions for enzymes or cofactors (vitamins)
• Contribute to the molecular understanding of how key metabolites are sensed by the body
• Develop novel therapeutic strategies for nutrient-based therapies
• Collaborate with post-docs and students to understand enzyme and metabolite interactions
• Publish, present, and represent the lab in journals and conferences
• Participate in lab meetings and Arc-wide activities

The ideal candidate will have:

• A PhD in metabolism, animal physiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics, or a related field
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to work in a fast-paced environment and be both an independent thinker and a highly collaborative team player

The minimum base salary for this position is $80,000, determined by relevant postdoctoral experience.
