Job Summary
Postdoctoral Position in Proteomics and Aging Research
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Oklahoma State University
A post-doctoral position is available in the Aryal lab at Oklahoma State University for a motivated researcher with a Ph.D. in life science or related field. The fellow will develop and apply advanced multi-omics technologies to study proteins lipids and metabolites in the context of senescence aging and neurodegenerative diseases using both cell and animal models. The researcher will gain expertise in molecular biology and omics technologies to identify key biomarkers with translational potential.
Position Description
Our lab focuses on understanding the role of biomolecular condensates formed by liquid-liquid phase separation especially nuclear bodies in aging and neurodegeneration. We combine state-of-the-art mass spectrometry bioinformatics and other omics tools to explore how cells and tissues remodel their molecular composition during senescence. This position involves multidisciplinary work combining analytical biochemical and biological techniques.
The successful candidate is expected to:
- Develop and refine HPLC and mass spectrometry methodologies for protein/peptide characterization and proteomic analysis.
- Investigate the role of biomolecular condensates in aging.
- Engage in collaborative research with academia and industry including OSU proteomics core facility clients.
This position provides access to state-of-the-art instrumentation a collaborative working environment and opportunities for professional growth.
Qualifications
PhD in biology biochemistry cell/molecular biology mass spectrometry proteomics or any related disciplines. Experience in proteomics or protein/peptide sample preparation method development/optimization including protein isolation purification enrichment of modified peptides and experience micro/nano scale LC and mass spectrometry.
Employment Conditions
This is an 11-month temporary non-tenure track position. Initial appointment will be for one-year term with the possibility of renewable for two more years depending on satisfactory performance. All positions are contingent on available funding. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled with a suitable applicant.
Application instruction:
Applications must be submitted online at:
Applicants should submit: 1) a 12-page cover letter summarizing their experience and research expertise related to the above project goals and required qualifications 2) detailed curriculum vitae and 3) contact information for three references.

About the Department
The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (BMB) provides exceptional undergraduate and graduate programs that produce students who are successful in multiple endeavors from matriculation into medical and life science graduate research programs to finding research positions in academe industry and government. Faculty in the department also conducts research in numerous areas such as plant biochemistry microbiology science education bioinformatics and cancer and cell biology.
The Department of BMBs mission is to add to and disseminate understanding of science related to the molecular basis of life in support of the missions of DASNR and OSU. It does so in three ways. First BMB contributes the expertise of its members to research endeavors in DASNR-supported projects. Though sometimes the contribution is through informal consultation often it is by full collaborative participation in these projects. Second BMB maintains facilities equipment and services essential for modern molecular biological research and makes these available to all DASNR-supported researchers and researchers throughout the university. Third through its formal teaching program and its workshop program BMB provides training in the molecular analysis of life processes that prepares students to join active research teams or health professions as productive members. BMB sees itself at the center of life science research able to bring together diverse interests for the advancement of society and humankind.
