Postdoctoral Fellow
Neurodegeneration-related Researcher Full-time
An independent and self-motivated postdoctoral fellow with a strong interest in the role of proteostasis in neurodegenerative disease (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and/or ALS) is sought at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. We are focused on understanding the cytoprotective mechanisms of the neuronally-expressed secreted chaperone proSAAS, which greatly improves functional outcomes in neurodegenerative disease models (see for example our recent Parkinson’s paper, PMID: 35527562). Previous confocal experience and/or relevant experience in cell biology, neurodegeneration, and/or proteostasis is desirable. Please visit thelindberglab.com for more information on our projects.
The University of Maryland-Baltimore, host to all University of Maryland professional schools, provides a collegial and stimulating research environment, with over $500 million in NIH research funding in the School of Medicine. The port city of Baltimore, located on the Chesapeake Bay, is home to many other renowned research institutions- for example, NIDA, NIA, Johns Hopkins, and UMBC- and is in close proximity to NIH, affording rich collaborative and cultural opportunities; a variety of affordable urban and suburban neighborhoods; and rapid rail transport to other East Coast cities (Washington DC, Philadelphia, and New York City).
If interested, please email a current CV, a brief cover letter detailing your research experience, career goals, and the email addresses and contact information for two references to Dr. Iris Lindberg at ilindberg@som.umaryland.edu. The University of Maryland-Baltimore is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
