Postdoctoral Research Associate - Developmental Neurobiology - Proteostasis and muscle-brain signaling during aging
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital•Memphis, TN
•Onsite
About The Position
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join the group of Dr. Fabio Demontis. The lab is located in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN, USA. We use mice and Drosophila to decipher the conserved mechanisms of muscle aging and proteostasis, and how muscle-derived signals (myokines) affect proteostasis and the progression of age-related diseases in the central nervous system.
