FDA Hiring Postdoc for Center of Biologics Evaluation and Research
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has an urgent need for a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Hana Golding's lab at the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research in Silver Spring, MD. The fellow should have demonstrated interest in the study of immune response to adjuvants, with a background in molecular biology and/or biochemistry and no more than four years of postdoctoral training. Those interested should send their CV to Dr. Marina Zaitseva and Dr. Hana Golding.
