Postdoctoral Fellowship

Postdoctoral Fellowship - External Innovation, Cambridge

A postdoctoral position studying the function and structure of synuclein in neurons with an opportunity to work both at Elan in South San Francisco and at the University of Cambridge as part of the Elan Cambridge Centre for Research Innovation and Drug Discovery.

A postdoctoral position is available for a dedicated and hard-working individual to develop an innovative and collaborative research program.  This candidate will execute experiments utilizing specialized microscopic techniques, including super-resolution, to elucidate the biological function and misfolding of synuclein in neuronal systems, and to evaluate the impact of compounds modulating synuclein on that biology.  

A Ph.D. in Neurobiology or related field with cell biology and microscopy experience is required.  Experience with general biochemistry, molecular cloning, primary neuronal cultures or neuroanatomy is desirable.  Experiments will be executed both at Elan and at the University of Cambridge.  This provides a unique opportunity to participate in an innovative industrial-academic collaboration.
