Available Positions
Postdoctoral fellow in neurodegenerative disease
Job Summary
The fellow will pursue a series of related experiments regarding selective
neuronal vulnerability in frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer’s disease,
and related disorders. Training in neuroanatomy, neurohistology, laser capture microdissection, and gene and protein expression profiling
will enable the fellow to perform experiments designed to clarify factors that make specific sets of
neurons vulnerable to disease. The fellow will further participate in ongoing experimental
quantitative neuroanatomical studies.
Required Qualifications
PhD in neuroscience and experience with the relevant techniques.
Preferred Qualifications
Strong interest in neurodegenerative disease, and a capacity to blend neuroanatomy with molecular
biological approaches.
Applicants should send a CV and 3 letters of recommendation to to Dr. Seeley: wseeley@memory.ucsf.edu.
