Postdoctoral Fellowship in Research: The Mordes Lab at UCSF is inviting applications for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to conduct research on the mechanisms of neurodegeneration in dementia, movement disorders, and related diseases. The research involves using human stem cell-derived neurons and patient brain samples to develop new disease models, identify therapeutic targets, and study proteins associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The position offers an opportunity to work on dynamic projects, including single-cell analyses, RNA-sequencing, global proteomics, and more.
