Job Description

Fellow (Post Doc) (Anatomy & Physiology)

Apply now Department: 3670080020 Anatomy & Physiology Job no: 507365 Work type: Staff Full Time (Unclassified - Term) Location: Manhattan, Kansas Categories: Research / Scientific / Grants, Veterinary Medicine Pay Grade: 001

About this Role:

The Department of Anatomy & Physiology within the College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking applicants for a Fellow (Post Doc). This research position will be working on the project of Molecular Pathophysiology of Parkinson's Disease.

We Support Diversity and Inclusion:

Kansas State University embraces diversity, and promotes inclusion in every sector of the institution. The university actively seeks candidates whose commitments and contributions will advance the University's commitment to the Principles of Community.

Duties / Responsibilities:

The Laboratory of Dr. YulanXiong at Kansas State University is seeking a Postdoc candidate. The research positions will be working on the molecular pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease projects. Our lab uses various model systems including yeast, Drosophila, mice, primary and human neuronal cultures. The general approach in our lab is to use a powerful combination of genetics, molecular biology and behavioral analysis to decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases in humans.
