The Kaczorowski Lab at The Jackson Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate mechanisms of cognitive resilience to Alzheimer’ disease. Projects exploit ‘humanized’ mouse models of cognitive resilience to identify and link genetic factors to circuit level mechanisms using in vivo electrophysiology in freely moving mice. We are especially interested in understanding the effects of aging and Alzheimer’s on neural mechanisms of learning and memory.
Required Skills:
Motivation and curiosity, and the desire to see things through are paramount. Demonstrate the ability to plan, execute and analyze an independent research project, with preference given to highly career oriented individuals.
Required Experience:
Required qualifications include a PhD or MD in Neuroscience and a commitment to solving complex biological problems in a collaborative research environment. Expertise in Alzheimer's Disease, aging or dementia-related studies, or neurodegeneration, Computational / Systems Biology, scientific programming languages including R, C/C++, Ruby, Perl, F or Java are desired.
