| Summary Description | Dr. Abid Hussaini is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to join his laboratory at The Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer’s disease and the Aging Brain at Columbia University, New York. The Hussaini lab studies the neurobiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in mouse models of amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau pathology, two disease hallmarks that lead to neuronal network dysfunction and cognitive deficits. The lab uses a systems neuroscience approach and employs techniques such as in vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics, chemogenetics and behavioral testing to understand the cellular mechanisms underlying brain dysfunction. The lab is newly funded with NIH and foundation grants and the position will be fully supported with competitive salary and benefits. The successful candidate will lead an independent project to understand why the neurons in the entorhinal cortex are more vulnerable to AD pathology and its impact on the downstream hippocampal neurons. The lab is committed to fostering trainee’s growth and offers a supportive, and collaborative work environment in a vibrant neighborhood of New York City. We are an equal employment opportunity and affirmative action employer. Women, minorities, people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply. Responsibilities |
