What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the aging research position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Aging Research, you need a strong background in biology, gerontology, epidemiology, or a related scientific field, often supported by an advanced degree such as a PhD or MD. Proficiency with statistical analysis software (like SPSS or R), laboratory techniques, and knowledge of research compliance standards is commonly required. Attention to detail, strong analytical thinking, and effective communication are important soft skills in this role. These competencies are critical for designing rigorous studies, analyzing complex data, collaborating across disciplines, and translating research findings into actionable insights for aging populations.

What is an aging research?

An Aging Research job involves studying the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging to improve health outcomes and quality of life for older adults. Professionals in this field work in academia, healthcare, biotech, or government, conducting research on aging-related diseases, longevity, and interventions to promote healthy aging. They may analyze genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence aging processes. Careers in aging research include roles such as gerontologists, biomedical researchers, data analysts, and healthcare policy experts. The goal is to develop strategies for extending healthspan and addressing age-associated challenges.

What types of projects or research topics can I expect to work on in an aging research role?

Professionals in Aging Research may investigate a wide range of topics, including the biology of aging, age-related diseases (such as Alzheimer's or osteoporosis), healthy aging interventions, and social or policy issues impacting older adults. You might conduct laboratory experiments, analyze clinical trial data, or engage in longitudinal studies observing aging populations over time. Additionally, you’ll likely collaborate with interdisciplinary teams including clinicians, social workers, and healthcare administrators. This variety allows you to both specialize in a particular area and gain exposure to diverse aspects of aging, giving you ample opportunity to advance your expertise and career.

Job description

POSITION SUMMARY
The Schilling Laboratory at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to participate in innovative research aimed at understanding the biological and chemical processes that are common to both age-related diseases and aging. For this position, there will be a particular emphasis on aging and age-related disease samples using proteomic workflows to decipher mechanisms as well as discover potential biomarkers. The qualified applicant will work with cutting-edge technologies and instrumentation in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Located in Novato, California, 30 miles north of San Francisco, the Buck Institute offers a rich scientific environment with renowned scientists in the field of aging research.  

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS 

  • Exciting, collaborative work environment at the forefront of science using state-of-the-art techniques.
  • The starting salary for a new postdoc at the Buck is $71,845 in 2025, with a range of up to $82,000 commensurate with postdoc level & experience.
  • Generous benefits package including health insurance, paid parental leave, vacation/sick, and 401(k) with 5% employer match.
  • Work visa sponsorship is available for qualified candidates.

PROJECTS 

  • Aging and age-related disease research – proteomic analysis of human tissues during the aging process, cancer tissues, Alzheimer’s disease tissues, and biofluids. The project will be embedded in a large collaborative effort at the Buck Institute and with outside collaborators.
  • Discovery proteomics, protein quantification.
  • Mass spectrometry (MS), modern instrumentation, and technology development.
  • Biomarkers of Aging
  • Cancer Biomarkers - Extracellular Matrix
  • Many other projects are available in the laboratory that are directly related to neurodegenerative diseases, proteostasis, kidney injury metabolism, and the role of sirtuins.

QUALIFICATIONS 

  • PhD in Chemistry, Biology, or other related fields
  • Experience in independently operating MS instrumentation
  • Enthusiasm to work on relevant disease-related projects with precious sample sets (human)
  • Experience in Data Processing

ABOUT US
Our success will ultimately change healthcare. At the Buck, we aim to end the threat of age-related diseases for this and future generations by bringing together the most capable and passionate scientists from a broad range of disciplines to identify and impede how we age. We are an independent, non-profit institution located in Marin County, CA, with the goal of increasing human health span, or the healthy years of life. Globally recognized as the pioneer and leader in efforts to target aging—the number one risk factor for diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease, and diabetes—the Buck seeks to help people live better longer. We are an equal-opportunity employer and strive to create an atmosphere where diversity of identity, experience, and background is welcomed, valued, and supported. Candidates who contribute to this diversity are strongly encouraged to apply. 

TO APPLY
To be considered, please apply online and submit your CV plus a PDF document that includes a summary of your research interests and the names, email, and phone numbers of three references.
