Description
Proteomics and Molecular Biology
Gordon Lab - Emory University, Atlanta, USA
Position Description
The Gordon Laboratory at Emory University is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to lead cutting-edge studies integrating mass spectrometry, molecular biology, and cellular engineering approaches to investigate molecular signaling pathways in immunity, cancer biology, and infectious disease biology.
Our laboratory applies experimental and computational strategies to systematically dissect cellular pathways that regulate immune function, host-pathogen interactions, and therapeutic responses. This position will involve mass spectrometry-based analyses alongside cell culture, molecular biology, and genetic engineering approaches in mammalian systems.
Primary responsibilities will include mass spectrometry operation and workflow development, experimental coordination, quantitative data analysis, literature review, development of new experimental approaches, and preparation and presentation of oral and written scientific reports.
About the Gordon Lab
The Gordon Lab applies experimental and computational approaches to understand molecular signaling and biochemical pathways, and to identify mechanisms that inform therapeutic development. Based in the Emory University Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, our laboratory benefits from close integration with translational and clinical research environments, including access to primary tissue samples and extensive opportunities for collaboration. Through our affiliation with the Pathology Advanced Translational Research Unit (PATRU), we work closely with investigators across pathology, immunology, and cancer biology. Our broader collaborations include partnerships with Georgia Tech in technology and computational method development, as well as connections to therapeutic translation through programs such as the Winship Cancer Institute Discovery and Developmental Therapeutics Program.
Our research program spans both academic and industry collaborations, providing exposure to rigorous basic science, translational research, and emerging opportunities at the interface of biology and therapeutic innovation.
We strongly believe that the best science emerges from an environment of generous collaboration, supported by a culture of learning, curiosity, and open sharing of skills and advice. In considering new members of our group, we value a positive attitude, strong evidence of prior success in laboratory settings, careful attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset that contributes positively to team culture.
This position provides opportunities for high-impact publication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and career development in systems biology, immunology, virology, cancer biology, and translational research.
Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience with cellular analysis methods such as flow cytometry, immunostaining, fluorescence microscopy, ELISA, western blotting, qPCR, or related techniques.
• Experience applying genetic engineering approaches (e.g. CRISPR-Cas9).
• Expertise in mass spectrometer operation.

• Experience with mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflows and familiarity with LC-MS/MS instrumentation.

• Strong foundational training in cell biology and molecular biology.
• Mammalian tissue culture experience.

• Hands-on experience cloning, amplifying, or purifying nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
• Prior experience with cell-based functional assays (e.g. cell viability, proliferation, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, or related assays).

• Comfort analyzing large-scale quantitative datasets.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• A doctoral degree or equivalent (Ph.D., M.D., ScD., D.V.M., DDS etc) in an appropriate field.
• Excellent scientific writing ability and strong oral communication skills.
• The ability to work effectively and collegially with colleagues.
• Additional qualifications as specified by the Principal Investigator.
