REF: 23-249_R_IF

 

About the research group

Stem cells and Neurodegenerative diseases

Stem Cell and Neurodegeneration’s lab primary focus is to examine the underlying molecular mechanisms that drive the development of Parkinson’s disease (PD). We use stem cells, including patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from idiopathic and familial PD skin cells, aiming to decipher the mechanisms that lead to PD brain cell dysfunction and degeneration (Embo Mol.Med. 2012, Nat. Neuroscience 2013, Embo Mol. Med.2015, Stem Cell Rep. 2019).

About the role

The Stem Cells and Neurodegeneration Lab is seeking a highly motivated Senior Postdoctoral candidate to develop a research project that will entail the use of different brain cell type combinations in a petri dish to investigate the PD pathology. Applicants are expected to be highly motivated and creative scientists, have good organization skills and be able to interact and collaborate within the research group. Candidates must hold a PhD in a relevant discipline with an outstanding publication record (at least 5 first-author articles in high impact journals).
