Job Number: 78487
Location: San Francisco, US
Job Description
The Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (IND) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic individual to join our neuroscience research institute aimed at defining mechanisms underlying motor neuron disease (ALS) and dementia. The IND is directed by Dr. Stanley Prusiner and is located at UCSF's Mission Bay campus.
The Mordes Lab within the IND focuses on understanding how disruptions in protein homeostasis and RNA metabolism result in neurodegeneration, particularly in ALS and related diseases. The research involves patient-derived and CRISPR-edited pluripotent stem cell lines and detailed neuropathology examination of patient brains.
The specialist will engage in studies of human stem cell-derived neurons to model neurodegenerative diseases and related molecular biology assays. The successful applicant will be an experienced cell and molecular biology researcher with expertise in biomedical research and in vitro cell culture methods. The specialist will work as part of a team dedicated to advancing pre-clinical models of disease.
A two-year commitment is preferred; candidates must be able to make a one-year commitment.
