Job Summary
Postdoc positionsstudying vascular tauopathy
The E-LAB directed by the physician-scientist Fanny Elahi is looking for a highly motivated creative and enthusiastic scientist with a record of productivity and prior experience in molecular biology and work with human brain biospecimen to join the lab and take lead on a project that investigates vascular contributions to tauopathy.
ABOUT THE LAB
The E-LAB is based at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount goal is to discover therapeutically relevant links between vascular pathologies and tauopathy. Our research is multidisciplinary rooted in known genetic risk factors for adverse brain aging and degeneration e.g.: NOTCH3mutations and APOE risk alleles. We use multi-modal in vivobiomarker approaches for initial discovery of molecular abnormalities that we follow with mechanistic studies in model systems (iPSC and in vivo).Responsibilities
ABOUT THE POSITION
The project will involve the identification of molecular and cellular pathologies linking vascular pathologies to tauopathy using patient samples (brain tissue biofluids and cellular models). The scholar will also have the opportunity to participate in several highly impactful collaborative scientific projects and utilize cutting-edge technology to look at fascinating patient populations.
Responsibilities will include designing and conducting experiments analyzing data preparation and presention of research findings at meetings leading or contributing to the writing of scientific manuscripts mentoring and training students (optional) applying for fellowships (optional) and other research funding. The department also has a postdoctoral fellow training program focused on mentorship networking and recognition. We are seeking a minimum of 2 years of commitment with the option to extend to additional years.
