How much do postdoctoral position fibrosis research jobs pay per year?

As of Jun 9, 2026, the average yearly pay for postdoctoral position fibrosis research in the United States is $85,062.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $58,000.00 and $101,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Fibrosis Research, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Fibrosis Research, you need a PhD in a relevant field (such as biology, medicine, or biochemistry), strong experimental design skills, and expertise in molecular and cellular biology techniques. Familiarity with laboratory tools like PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry, and data analysis software (e.g., GraphPad Prism or R), as well as experience with animal models and relevant certifications, is often required. Outstanding critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills help researchers excel in collaborative, multidisciplinary environments. These skills are vital for advancing fibrosis research, producing high-impact results, and contributing to innovative therapeutic developments.

What is a Postdoctoral Position in Fibrosis Research?

A Postdoctoral Position in Fibrosis Research is a temporary research role typically undertaken after completing a PhD, focusing on the study of fibrosis—an abnormal accumulation of connective tissue in organs. Researchers in these positions work under the guidance of principal investigators to explore the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of fibrotic diseases, such as those affecting the liver, lung, kidney, or heart. The work may involve laboratory experiments, animal models, clinical data analysis, and publishing scientific findings. This experience helps postdocs develop specialized skills and prepare for independent research careers or academic positions.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a postdoctoral researcher working in fibrosis research?

Postdoctoral researchers in fibrosis research typically spend their days designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and interpreting results to advance understanding of fibrotic diseases. They often collaborate closely with principal investigators, lab technicians, and other postdocs, contributing to research meetings and discussions. Additional responsibilities include preparing manuscripts for publication, presenting findings at conferences, and mentoring graduate or undergraduate students in the lab. The work environment is highly collaborative and requires adaptability, as priorities may shift based on experimental outcomes or funding opportunities.

Job description

Description
A postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated research fellow in the laboratory of Dr. Henry De Belly at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute (CRI) at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, USA.
Mechanical forces are fundamental drivers of cell behaviors from tissues development, cell migration, immune response and wound healing. Central to this process is the plasma membrane, a dynamic mechanical platform that integrates physical forces with signaling. Subtle changes in membrane tension regulate polarity, migration, trafficking, and cell fate, while mechanical dysregulation contributes to pathology in immunity, inflammation, and cancer. Our laboratory investigates how mechanical forces shape cell behavior within tissues, from immune cell migration to collective processes such as wound healing and metastasis.
We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with interests in cell biology, mechanobiology, imaging, or quantitative approaches. The position offers an opportunity to work a collaborative, interdisciplinary and intellectually stimulating environment.

Relevant publications :
Long range mutual activation establishes Rho and Rac polarity during cell migration (PMID: 40236007)
Cell protrusions and contractions generate long-range membrane tension propagation (PMID: 37311454)
Qualifications
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree and have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: cellular biology, biophysics, molecular biology or biochemistry. The ideal candidate will demonstrate scientific independence, creativity, and flexibility, along with a strong record of productivity. Prior experience with imaging is preferred.
Application Instructions
Interested individuals should submit a CV, a short summary of research interest and experience, and a list of three references.
