The laboratories of Niklas Mattsson and Oskar Hansson at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University now seek a postdoctoral fellow for genetic/bioinformatic analyses in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Research area
Our research is focused on defining and understanding biological processes in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. We work both with cohorts of patients and cognitively unimpaired volunteers, who undergo extensive testing with neuroimaging, biomarker measurements and neuropsychological testing, and with animal- and cell biology experiments. The postdoc will join a growing multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists and clinical researchers, who are dedicated to increase the knowledge about neurodegenerative diseases. The long-term goal of our research is to contribute to the development of new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases where effective treatments are still lacking.
The position
The postdoc will focus on genetic data analyses to identify links between genetic risk factors and different hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. A key task will be to integrate genetic information with other data that is already available in our studies, including neuroimaging (MRI and PET) and biochemical data. The project may also include analysis of gene expression data and protein expression data, including on material generated from induced human neurons. The position is full time over 2 years.
Requirements
Application
Applications should include a personal letter, curriculum vitae, proof of completed PhD, and names/contact information for three references.
