Postdoc Opportunity in Neurology

Unraveling the therapeutic potential of nanoparticles in the treatment of Alzheimer disease pathology: a translational multidisciplinary research project.

One position for post-doctoral fellow is now open in S. Kar’s lab: Dr. S. Kar, affiliated with the Department of Medicine (Neurology), is a neuroscience researcher with vivid interest in Alzheimer disease pathogenesis. His research has been funded by federal organizations including Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). He is seeking one postdoctoral fellow with experience in neuronal culture and/or animal models of neurodegenerative diseases to work on a multidisciplinary project dedicated to establishing therapeutic potential of nanoparticles in the treatment of Alzheimer disease pathology. The research program involves in vitro study as well as cellular and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease. This work ranges from advanced biophysical and cell biology methods to animal behavior.

Interested trainees with experience in primary neuronal cultures and/or animal models of neurodegenerative diseases should send a letter of interest and CV to [email protected] .
