Postdoctoral Position To Study Sleep And Alzheimer'S Disease Resilience

Postdoctoral Position to Study Sleep and Alzheimer's Disease ResilienceTo apply, please email your CV, a letter of motivation outlining your research interests and experience, your list of publications, and two to three references (or letters of support) to ****** .DescriptionThe institute is looking for a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher to lead a project on Alzheimer's disease (AD) resilience and sleep. The selected candidate will join the Functional Epi-Genomics group at the Instituto de Neurociencias (IN) of Alicante (Spain) and work in close collaboration with other groups as part of an international action funded by the Pasqual Maragall Foundation.The project aims to characterize and causally determine the molecular underpinnings of sleep-modulation of AD resilience using a combination of mouse models and human samples, with state-of-the-art electrophysiology and behavioral techniques, and single-cell and spatial epi-genetic profiling and editing tools.The IN is a joint center between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) that enrolls more than 50 laboratories with more than 350 people from 20 different nationalities with full access to state-of-the-art facilities and extensive training opportunities. It houses an international neuroscience master's and Ph.D. program with its own scholarships, frequently organizes thematic congresses and meetings, and holds regular seminars with national and international speakers, which constitutes a highly stimulating research environment.RequirementsApplicants should have a Ph.D. (awarded or soon to be awarded) in neuroscience, molecular biology or any other related field. A strong background in mouse behavior and/or sleep is totally required. Previous experience in automated behavioral systems (e.g., touchscreen, Intellicage), electrophysiology, microscopy imaging, neuro-epigenetics and/or bioinformatics will be a plus but not essential. The position is intended for a maximum of four years starting as early as January 2024. #J-18808-Ljbffr
