Postdoctoral Studies in Mitochondrial Dynamics: The Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society (NVS) at Karolinska Institutet is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to cutting-edge research in mitochondrial dynamics in neurodegeneration, particularly in Alzheimer’s disease. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group focused on understanding the role of mitochondria and energy metabolism in neurodegeneration processes, using advanced imaging and bioenergetic assays. This two-year scholarship offers an opportunity to work in a collaborative environment and make significant contributions to the field.
Postdoctoral Studies in Mitochondrial Dynamics in Neurodegeneration (Scholarship)
Designation: Postdoctoral Scholarship
Research Area: Mitochondrial Dynamics in Neurodegeneration
Location: Karolinska Institutet, Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Division of Neurogeriatrics, BioClinicum, KI Campus Solna, Sweden
Eligibility/Qualification:
- A background in neuroscience with a strong interest in mitochondrial biology
- Documented experience in high-resolution fluorescence imaging
- Proficiency in imaging analysis software such as ImageJ and Imaris
- Experience in proteomic analysis is highly advantageous
- Expertise in primary cell culture, mice manipulation, and virus injections are merits
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
- Fluency in written and spoken English
Job Description: The selected candidate will be involved in a project focused on creating a spatial-resolved proteomic and imaging map of mitochondria in astrocytes from Alzheimer’s disease models, with a specific emphasis on mitochondrial membrane dynamics. Duties include conducting experiments using 2-D and 3-D cocultures, proteomics, confocal and super-resolution microscopy, and high-resolution respirometry. The postdoctoral researcher will work closely with the research group, contributing to experimental design, data analysis, and collaborative research efforts.
