Research Associate, Department of Neuroscience
role at
University of Virginia Are you passionate about unraveling the mysteries of the human brain? Do you have a strong desire to contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in the field of neurodegenerative diseases? Look no further! The Lulu Jiang Lab at the University of Virginia (UVA) is seeking talented individuals to join our dynamic research team as Postdoctoral Research Associates. Responsibilities Include Conducting experiments and data analysis related to ongoing research projects. Contributing to the development and implementation of research protocols. Collaborating with fellow researchers and scientists within and outside the lab. Presenting research findings at conferences and publishing in scientific journals. Assisting in the training and mentorship of junior lab members. The Lulu Jiang Lab is dedicated to advancing our understanding of the intricate workings of the brain. At our lab, we have a strong emphasis on comprehending the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and other related dementia disorders. Our primary objective is to deepen our understanding of these disease conditions. Our research focuses on several key areas that drive our scientific interests and contribute to the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. These Areas Include Investigation of RNA modifications and epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. Exploration of neuron-glia interactions and neuroimmunological mechanisms underlying the progression of AD and Parkinson's disease (PD). Utilization of iPSC-induced 3D human brain organoid models to study neurodegenerative diseases and enable precision medicine approaches. Elucidation of the molecular mechanisms driving prion-like propagation in the Braak stages of AD. Development of innovative genetic and small molecule therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases. With state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative environment, we strive to foster creativity, innovation, and scientific excellence. For more information about our department and our lab, please visit https://med.virginia.edu/neuroscience/ or contact Lulu Jiang at wpm5vs@virginia.edu. The successful candidate will have the following qualifications and experience: Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience, Biology, Psychology, or a related field. Strong background in neuroscience research techniques and methodologies. Experience with data analysis software (e.g., MATLAB, Python, R). Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. The position is a 12-month appointment with the possibility of renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and the availability of funding. To Apply Please apply through Workday, and search for R0049795. Internal applicants must apply through their UVA Workday profile by searching 'Find Jobs'. Complete an application online with the following documents: Cover letter highlighting your research experience and interests. Curriculum vitae (CV) with a list of publications (if applicable). Contact information for three professional references. Upload all materials into the resume submission field, multiple documents can be submitted into this one field. Alternatively, merge all documents into one PDF for submission. The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity employer. All interested persons are encouraged to apply, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.
