Post Doctorate Associate
About The Position
The Maimon Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering seeks a Postdoctoral Associate to work with Roy Maimon. The lab investigates regenerative strategies for neurodegenerative diseases by exploring in vivo cellular identity conversion, including reawakening dormant neural stem cells and guiding them to form new glia and neurons, with the goal of inducing brain regeneration in aging and disease. The position focuses on studies in mouse models of Huntington’s disease, including gene-editing and other therapeutic approaches. The associate will conduct behavioral and molecular phenotyping, optimize therapeutic-tool delivery and safety, support spatial and single-cell experiments and analyses, and help maintain an efficient research environment. The annual base salary is $70,000, depending on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.
Requirements
- PhD in Neuro Cell Biology or a related field.
- Eligibility to work in the United States.
Responsibilities
- Design and perform in vivo and ex vivo studies in mouse models of Huntington’s disease, focused on gene editing using CRISPR-associated protein 9, adeno-associated virus, and antisense oligonucleotide-based approaches.
- Conduct behavioral and molecular phenotyping and optimize delivery and safety of therapeutic tools.
- Lead or support single-cell and spatial transcriptomics experiments, including MERFISH, immunofluorescence, spatial proteomics, and live-cell imaging.
- Analyze and integrate single-cell datasets using established computational pipelines.
- Help establish protocols, track inventory, and maintain a well-organized and efficient research environment.
