The position will involve participation in NIH-funded projects aimed at understanding the mechanisms of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases caused by dysregulation of RNA metabolism. The research projects employ multidisciplinary approaches in the areas of genomics, RNA/protein biochemistry and neuroscience using mammalian cell lines, human stem cell-derived neurons, and mouse models. Applicants should have experience in the analysis of RNA regulation and RNA-protein interactions both in vitro and in vivo. The applicant will carry out experimental work on research projects established in liaison with the PI and to be performed either independently or in collaboration with postdoctoral research scientists and graduate students. Responsibilities include design and execution of experiments, data analysis as well as training of new lab personnel and assisting the PI with grant applications and scientific publications.
