Job Description - Senior Biologist

ROLE
We are seeking a Senior Biologist to provide highly specialized scientific and technical support to a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research laboratory within the Epithelial Signaling and Transport Section in Bethesda, MD. The work focuses on epithelial biology, calcium signaling, endoplasmic reticulum–plasma membrane (ER–PM) junction organization, and ion channel regulation, with direct application to ongoing and planned NIH intramural research projects.

This is a senior, part-time, hands-on role that requires immediate proficiency in advanced imaging, molecular biology, and quantitative analysis. The selected candidate will work independently, provide mechanistic insight to complex biological questions, and integrate into an established NIH research environment. This role requires an experienced scientist who can perform the required techniques from day one, with no ramp-up period.

Apply today!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Design, execute, and analyze independent experimental studies related to epithelial signaling, calcium dynamics, ER–PM junction behavior, and ion channel function
