Postdoctoral Fellow Openings at Cold Spring Harbor Lab

Posted by on Wednesday, July 23, 2025 in Job Opportunities .

Postdoctoral FellowAlexander Lab – 0737

The Alexander Lab seeks a highly-motivated postdoctoral researcher to independently drive research projects, collaborate across disciplines, and help foster an interactive and dynamic research community. Research in the Alexander Lab spans scales of biology as well as experimental and computational approaches. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in gene regulatory mechanisms, with a track record of creative research in molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, imaging approaches and/or bioinformatics.

 

Postdoctoral FellowBanerjee Lab – 00399

Our lab is interested in how the brain accomplishes the ongoing transformation from sensation to action during natural behaviors. Vocal communication is ideally suited to study natural and flexible sensorimotor transformations. During a conversation, our brain must interpret what we hear and control our vocal response. Recently, we have discovered that a neo- tropical rodent, Alston’s singing mouse, engages in fast vocal interactions, even under laboratory settings.

 

Postdoctoral Fellow – Hou Lab

The laboratory of Dr. Helen Hou at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (houlab.org) focuses on the latest technologies in neuroscience to study how the brain controls movements and natural behaviors. This includes, but is not limited to, research on how the brain coordinates muscles of facial expressions to convey internal states. We welcome inquiries from individuals who are passionate about contributing to this exciting research program. If you are interested in future opportunities with the Hou Lab, we encourage you to reach out directly to Dr. Hou to be considered for upcoming openings at hou@cshl.edu.

 

Computational Postdoctoral FellowKoulakov Lab – 03057-R

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is looking for outstanding candidates to fill postdoctoral positions in theoretical neuroscience. The position is open under specific projects as well as general research involving the application of methods from theoretical physics, mathematics, and machine learning with the goal to understand the brain function.

 

Postdoctoral Fellowships  – L. Zhang Lab – 03248-R

Dr. Lingbo Zhang’s Lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory focuses on both basic science and translational medicine of hematologic malignancies. The research of the Lab centers on normal and malignant stem and progenitor cells in the hematopoietic system and decodes the role of metabolites in the tumor microenvironment in regulating hematologic malignancies. Fully funded postdoctoral fellowships are available to investigate the roles of these critical metabolites and their genetic effectors in hematopoietic malignancies and develop novel therapeutic strategies.

 

Postdoctoral FellowSpector Lab – 1698

A postdoctoral position is currently available, in the laboratory of Dr. David L. Spector at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, for a highly motivated outstanding individual to study Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Pluripotency and Differentiation. LncRNAs are an exciting class of of RNA molecules among which very few have thus far been functionally characterized in depth. We performed an RNA-seq screen in mouse embryonic stem cells and neural progenitor cells and identified differentially expressed lncRNAs. The proposed studies will build upon these findings and use innovative methods to interrogate the functional role of specific lncRNAs in pluripotency, differentiation, and disease. This knowledge will lead to new potential opportunities in regulating these processes to influence differentiation and impact reprogramming.

 

Postdoctoral FellowYeh Lab – 02869-R

A Postdoc Fellow position is available at The Yeh Laboratory at CSHL Cancer Center (http://yehlab.labsites.cshl.edu). We are recruiting new members passionate about drug discovery and chemical biology. Our lab is working to understand the molecular mechanisms leading to efficient elicitation of tumor vulnerability for potent cancer targeting. We develop Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) therapeutic strategies to abrogate or rewire cancer cell signaling. For this open position, the project direction will be focused on continuing developing and validating novel TPD molecules to target undruggable proteins.

Our employees are compensated from a total rewards perspective in many ways for their contributions to our mission, including competitive pay, exceptional health benefits, retirement plans, paid time off, and a range of recognition and wellness programs.
