We are looking for an ambitious and career-focused postdoc interested in advancing our knowledge how short telomeres cause aging and disease.
The ideal candidate would be open to using in vivo as well as diverse in vitro models approaches to dissect the mechanisms by which short telomeres cause organ failure and disease. We are particularly interested in how telomere shortening affects the immune system and drives intestinal inflammation . In the intestine, the candidate will also expected to look at the contribution of the microbiome to short telomere-induced intestinal and peripheral disease such as in the brain.
Characterizes the role of the microbiom and specific microbes such as L. reuteri in causing brain disorders.MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.The qualifications that are required are a Ph.D. or M.D. with sufficient experience in basic science. The ideal candidate would be familiar or acquire the knowledge to work with the microbiome and intestinal model systems such as mice and organoids. Motivated candidates without prior experience in these areas, but strong motivation to learn will be considered.A proof of excellence through publications in peer-reviewed journals is important.The ideal candidate should be curious, self-motivated, and interested in working together with other lab members.
This position will provide a supportive and highly innovative scientific environment and offer the candidate an excellent opportunity to contribute to a novel and exciting field.Share this job
