Position Description
Exciting Opportunity in Neurodegenerative Research: Join Dr. Qitao Ran's Lab at the Department of Cell Systems & Anatomy, UT Health San Antonio! We are currently seeking a highly motivated and qualified individual for an immediate postdoctoral position.
About the Position: As a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in our lab, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The focus of your research will be on unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions, with a specific emphasis on exploring the roles of various modalities of cell death, such as ferroptosis, in neurodegeneration.
Key Responsibilities: Conduct cutting-edge research using mouse models of AD and ALS, as well as various cell models of neurodegeneration. Define and characterize the molecular mechanisms associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers to contribute to ongoing projects.
Position Requirements
Ph.D. degree in Biological Sciences. Prior research experience in neuroscience or neurodegeneration. Proficient in molecular and cell biology techniques. Highly desirable: previous experience working with rodent models.
How to Apply
Please submit your CV, a cover letter outlining your research experience and interests, and contact information for three references to Dr. Qitao Ran (ran@uthscsa.edu). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
