Post-Doctoral Fellow – Neurodegenerative Disease’s Mechanisms (PD, AD and HD) (multiple positions)

The laboratory of Professor Zhenyu Yue is looking for highly motivated and collaborative postdoctoral fellows to join Friedman Brain Institute at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.

Multiple positions are available for highly motivated and ambitions scientists to use a wide range of experimental and bioinformatic approaches to investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s diseases. The lab employs mouse genetics, biochemical, molecular, cellular, transcriptomic ( snRNAseq), proteomic, network, imaging (live and fixed), animal pathology/behavior, human IPSC neurons/glia and postmortem tissue analysis to dissect autophagy-lysosome, synaptic vesicle trafficking, cell metabolism, neuroinflammation, and protein/lipid kinase signaling in the neuropathogenesis.

Please visit the lab’s website for an overview of our research interests: https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/yuelab/

Qualifications:

• A recent PhD graduate with demonstrated experience in any of the following fields: cell biology, molecular biology, mouse genetics, biochemistry, neuroscience, and/or systems biology.
• The ideal candidates will have experience in any of the following research areas: molecular and cell biology in neuronal and/or glial culture models; confocal and/or stereological microscopy; protein biochemistry, proteomics; viral vector technology; development of genetic animal models; rodent neuropathology and behavior; bioinformatic, single cell/ nuclei RNAseq, IPSC derived neurons/glia.

Please submit your online application with the following:

• Cover letter outlining research experience and interests
• Curriculum Vitae
• Contact details for 3 references
