University of Southern California
This role focuses on researching mechanisms of APOE4 in Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative processes within a collaborative environment dedicated to lipid metabolism, neuroinflammation, and molecular mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease. The position emphasizes molecular and cellular neuroscience techniques including phosphoproteomics, lipidomics, neuroinflammatory signaling, and primary neuron, astrocyte, and microglia cultures, with integration of single-cell and molecular data to link mechanisms to phenotype.
Key Responsibilities
- • Establish an independent, externally funded research program
- • Participate in collaborative projects within the department and the Center for Personalized Brain Health
Required
- • Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in neuroscience, biochemistry, or a related field
- • Demonstrated record of scholarly productivity and scientific independence
Preferred
- • Experience with lipid biology, Alzheimer’s disease models, or neuroinflammation
