Institution: New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD)Department: Division of Science, BiologyLocation: Abu Dhabi, UAEType: Full-TimePosted: November 4, 2025SciencePosition OverviewDiscover morescientistsAcademic Conferences & PublicationsChemistryNYU Abu Dhabi's Cell Death Signaling Laboratory is seeking a Junior Research Scientist to investigate the molecular mechanisms of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) in ferroptosis. The research focuses on how the tumor-suppressive lipid ceramide regulates ferroptosis and promotes iron-mediated lipid peroxidation. The successful candidate will employ molecular and biochemical approaches, including Western blotting, qRT-PCR, RNA sequencing, HPLC, FACS, and fluorescence microscopy, to study ASM-related cell death signaling pathways.QualificationsRequired:Master's degree in Biochemistry or a related discipline.At least two years of relevant research experience.Prior experience in regulated cell death pathways (apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, or oxeiptosis).Biological Sciences PreferredExperience in sphingolipid research.ResponsibilitiesConduct advanced cell-based and molecular experiments.Contribute to experimental design, data analysis, and research publications.Collaborate with PhD-level scientists, graduate students, and undergraduates.Additional InformationBenefits: Competitive employment terms including housing and educational subsidies for dependent children.Colleges & Universities Application Materials: Cover letter, CV, transcript, research statement, and two reference letters in PDF format.Contact: Dr. Faisal – [HIDDEN TEXT] Review: Applications are reviewed immediately and remain open until filled.Equal Opportunity: NYUAD promotes non-discrimination and inclusion; UAE nationals are encouraged to apply.Learn more: NYU Abu Dhabi
