The team is actively seeking a dynamic and science-driven postdoc with a passion for hands-on experimental work. The successful candidate will be an important reference point for the work in our laboratory, as they will conduct experiments to finalize ongoing projects and will develop novel lines of research, including studies on risk factors that promote Parkinson’s disease. Most of the experimental studies will employ Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model organism, whereas iPSC-derived neurons / glia will be used to confirm newly identified molecular mechanisms. Additional details about the different projects and career perspectives will be discussed during the interview.

The new team member will have the opportunity to expand their scientific knowledge and skills by performing multi-omics (RNA sequencing, proteomics, metabolomics) data analyses. Additionally, the new co-worker will manage state-of-the-art equipment within the laboratory and will contribute to the training of undergraduate and graduate students.
