Highly motivated candidates are invited to lead several new projects to address fundamental questions in RNA and protein homeostasis related to neurodegenerative diseases. Current directions in the lab include novel functions of nucleic acids, RNA binding proteins, and protein quality control and translation. Experimental approaches, including biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology, from invertebrate to mammalian systems are employed. New techniques applied in the lab include iPSC neurons, genome editing, and metabolomics studies. Candidates with a strong background in biochemical, molecular, and/or cellular biology are encouraged to apply.

The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions provide a stimulating and collaborative environment for biomedical research. Our lab is affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Department of Neuroscience of the School of Medicine. The Baltimore/Washington D.C. area also offers rich professional and living opportunities.

Candidates should have a doctoral degree and strong research background. Please send a statement of research experience and career goals, a copy of Curriculum Vitae, and contact information of at least one reference.
