Postdoctoral Positions in Mouse Models of Neurodegeneration

Two positions available in the Sam Gandy, M.D., Ph.D./Michelle Ehrlich, M.D., Laboratory at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. Projects involve development, characterization, and pathogenesis in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and primary torsion dystonia. Relevant pubs are listed below. Key requisite techniques include mouse behavior, DNA mutagenesis, RT-PCR, Northern blotting, fluorescence and light microscopy, standard immunoprotein techniques.
