Research Fellow-Neuroscience-Rossoll Lab for Translational Neuroproteomics and Proteinopathies

Description

The Rossoll Labat Mayo Clinic Floridais recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellowto study the molecular and proteomic mechanisms underlying TDP-43 and tau proteinopathiesassociated with ALS / FTD and Alzheimers disease.

This position offers a unique opportunity to explore how disease-linked proteins such as TDP-43 and tau interact with cellular pathways that govern phase behavior solubility and neurotoxicity. The fellow will apply state-of-the-art proteomic profiling (IP-MS and proximity labeling) molecular and cell biology and advanced imaging approachesto uncover protein networks that drive or protect against neurodegeneration.

The research environment provides access to world-class facilities including the Mayo Clinic Multi-Omics Mass Spectrometry Core Brain Bank and collaborative links to the neuroscience community at Mayo Clinic Florida.

The position offers an opportunity to work in a highly interactive neuroscience community at Mayo Clinic Florida with access to world-class facilities and other resources including the brain bank.

A Research Fellow position in Life Sciences (LS) will require knowledge of either clinical-based research or laboratory-based research often obtained from a postdoctoral program.

A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research. Individuals will train in the research program of a Mayo Clinic principal investigator. Qualified individuals will demonstrate the potential for research as evidenced by their training and peer-reviewed publications and should become competitive for national research grants. Proof of English proficiency is required for J-1 Short-Term Scholars Research Scholars Professors Specialists and Student Interns sponsored by Mayo Clinic.
