Posting Summary
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Post Doctoral Fellow for the Department of Neurology within Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
The mission of the lab is to follow a network-based approach to understand the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (mainly Parkinson’s disease and secondarily Alzheimer’s disease), with the ultimate aim being to utilize this strategy to develop combination treatments. This strategy distinguishes our lab from a decades-long tradition in the field of zeroing in on specific genes and focusing on the development of monotherapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Simultaneously, the lab aspires to remain at the cutting edge in terms of cellular and molecular biology techniques and to advance the neurodegeneration field by developing innovative tools and technologies that we will share with the research community. To achieve those goals, we are currently using mammalian cell lines (including stable cell lines) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSc) as model systems, as well as human brain tissue. In the future, and as our research program advances, we will expand our toolkit to also include mouse work and computational analyses of large -omics datasets. Some of the techniques we use include standard cell and molecular biology techniques, flow cytometry, microscopy (standard imaging and FRET, FLIM, FRAP), high throughput genetic and chemical screens, single cell and spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, genomics, optogenetics and histology.

Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the incumbent will work on a project as a post-doctoral fellow in a laboratory dedicated to studying the molecular pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease, identifying therapeutic targets and testing new therapeutic agents. S/He will work in a new lab as part of a highly integrated research team utilizing a variety of laboratory technologies and approaches. Specialized skills in molecular/cellular biology and iPSc-neurons studies are preferred but not required for this position. The most important attribute of new recruits is demonstrable interest in the type of research we do, as demonstrated at interview, and ability to undertake rigorous and high quality research, as evidenced by their achievements and credentials. Individuals looking to change research direction for their postdoc are welcome to apply. Appropriate training will be provided to recruits.
