Postdoctoral Program

Postdoctoral Fellows are an integral part of the research environment in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Currently, there are 16 fellows and research scientists in the department, many of whom receive support from foundations such as the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Cancer Society (ACS). All of our fellows are encouraged to apply for grants and to travel to meetings and symposia to share their research.

Each fellow plays an important role in our research mission. Fellows help supervise graduate and undergraduate students, present at the Annual Retreat and weekly workshop series, and meet with seminar speakers.

Previous fellows have gone on to hold positions at institutions such as the University of California Los Angeles, National Cancer Institute, Johns Hopkins University, and Vanderbilt University, to name a few.

The strong educational and research mission of the University of Iowa makes this an ideal location for postdoctoral fellows. In 2019, Iowa City was ranked as the 4th best place to live out of 100 by livability.com.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact faculty directly.
