Postdoctoral Researcher in animal models of neurodegeneration (f/m) - Code 1462/2017/4
Your tasks
The laboratory of Dr. Erdem Gültekin Tamgüney is focused on understanding how disease-associated proteins misfold, aggregate, spread, and damage the brain. We are inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in this group to work with mouse models of neurodegeneration to elucidate disease mechanisms causing synucleinopathies and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Your profile
•       The successful candidate will be fluent in English
•       at least 3 years of experience in working with mouse models of neurodegeneration, in paraffin- and cryosectioning, in immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence staining of tissue sections, and in confocal microscopy.
•       Experience in preparing and culturing primary neurons and organotypic brain slices, in conducting behavioral experiments, in protein purification, or with biophysical methods to study protein misfolding and aggregation is a plus.
We offer
•       An interesting and challenging task in a research center that works on the future topics of health research
•       An international environment characterized by a strong focus on science and research.
•       The opportunity to utilize state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
