Description

Postdoctoral positions are available to work on the genetics and molecular neurobiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the laboratory of Dr. Alison Goate, Director of the new Center on Alzheimer’s Disease at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, a multidisciplinary center focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Positions are available to work on several projects, including whole genome sequencing to identify variants that protect APOE4 carriers from developing AD and whole exome sequencing in late-onset AD families to identify novel genetic risk factors. Other projects use induced pluripotent stem cells and genome engineering to understand the mechanisms associated with risk or protection from AD associated with these novel genes. We have recently initiated studies on the role of PLD3 in risk for AD. More information about these projects and others can be found at neuroscience.mssm.edu/goate/.

Applicants should hold a PhD in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, statistical genetics, or molecular neurobiology/stem cell biology. Please upload a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of 3 people who could provide letters of reference to: neuroscience.mssm.edu/goate/goate_positions_applicaton.html
