Postdoctoral Scholar

About Gladstone Institutes

Are you an innovative, enterprising scientist with an interest in interdisciplinary research and ready for a postdoctoral training in one of the premier institutions for biomedical research? Here at Gladstone we bring together MDs and PhDs, tissue engineers, stem cell biologists, neurologists, virologists, genome engineers, and physiologists. Gladstone is home to five major institutes dedicated to different areas of study, each representing different yet interconnected areas of focus:

• Cardiovascular Disease

• Data Science and Biotechnology

• Genomic Immunology

• Neurological Disease

• Virology
  

Investigators have the freedom to follow their research wherever it leads, and work closely with their colleagues in all institutes to deeply probe important questions in biomedicine. Above all, they champion highly interactive, creative, and innovative approaches to science as they seek prevention, treatments, and cures for major diseases.

Training Environment

Gladstone scientists also train the next generation of clinicians and researchers. Gladstone enthusiastically embraces this mission and has created a holistic training environment for postdoctoral scholars to gain the skills and experiences they will need for an independent career. Our program includes rigorous scientific training, personalized attention and mentoring, as well as development of professional competencies including leadership, scientific writing, networking, and conflict resolution.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Gladstone, we know it takes a diverse group of empowered individuals to use science to effectively overcome disease. We pride ourselves on learning from each member of our community and cultivating a culture where every individual is respected and can succeed. We stand together as we progress along our journey to continuously improve and address imbalances that stand in the way of anyone’s opportunity to grow, contribute, and advance. Learn more about Gladstone’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategy.

As part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we launched Embark, Gladstone’s Presidential Postdoctoral Program, in 2021. Embark aims to increase the representation of underrepresented minoritized groups within the sciences and at Gladstone. We believe that when we bring together people with diverse approaches and ideas to tackle scientific challenges in creative ways, we create tremendous opportunities for discovering new treatments and cures for disease.
