Description
Eye Aging and Neurodegeneration using Flies and Mammals
POSITION SUMMARY
The focus of the Kapahi Laboratory is to identify and characterize the mechanisms by which nutrients modulate aging and age-related diseases. This is being achieved by using an interdisciplinary approach combining genetic, pharmacological, biochemical, and genomic approaches in invertebrate model systems C. elegans, D. melanogaster, and mammalian cells. The broader significance of this research is to help uncover the role of nutrition in the etiology of age-related human diseases like diabetes, obesity, and neurodegeneration. You will join a highly collaborative group and the ability to be a collaborative team member is a key expectation. The position is ideal for candidates who want to transition to academia and write a K99. Strong mentorship and support to write grants will be provided.
We have openings for 2 Postdoctoral positions that involve using bioinformatic approaches from flies and humans to study the role of circadian clocks and nutrient-responsive pathways influencing eye and neuronal degeneration using flies and conserved orthologs from humans.
QUALIFICATIONS
Previous background in fly or bioinformatics approaches is an advantage but not essential. Willingness to write grants and manuscripts is a pre-requisite.Publications
