POSTDOC POSITION AVAILABLE
Glickman Laboratory
On an ERC-Funded project:
The origin and impact of impaired ubiquitin signaling in the degeneration of neurons (Ubi-Wan)
starting 1 November 2024
The Glickman lab (Glickman Lab | Department of Biology, Technion) is looking for postdoctoral fellows. We study Protein Turnover in Alzheimer’s disease, ageing and response to mitochondria dysfunction. We have adapted a 3-D human neuronal network to study the role of proteasome, deubiquitinating enzymes, and ubiquitin signaling in general in neurodegeneration. The ERC-funded research Ubi-Wan will lay the foundation for exploring the involvement of a ubiquitin signaling in neurodegeneration with an emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease. The project includes building Alzheimer’s disease models utilizing human Stem cells and iPSCs.
Your tasks:
- Design and execute research projects
- Organize and troubleshoot your work independently
- Communicate results and experiences with the team in a transparent and professional manner
- Apply for Postdoctoral fellowships or external funding
Your profile:
- A Ph.D. in biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, neurobiology, or a related field
- Strong background in TC work, specifically working with stem cells and iPSCs
- Experience in complex neuronal models, including organoids
- Strong background in microscopy
- Highly motivated, creative, dedicated, and critical thinker
- Ability to clearly communicate research results to other lab members and scientists
- Excellent oral and written communication skills in English
- Proactive, flexible, and problem-solving attitude
What we offer:
- An intellectually diverse academic position within a dynamic research environment, offering numerous avenues for expanding your knowledge and fostering an environment that values excellence, professionalism, and collaborative teamwork.
- A full-time contract of up to 5 years on the recently awarded ERC Advanced project Ubi-Wan
- The earliest possible start date is November 2024
- Salary will be in line with the university salary scale for postdoctoral researchers
