About this position
The Orr laboratory at Weill Cornell Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral associate to investigate glial-neuronal interactions and disease mechanisms in neurodegenerative disorders. The research is based in the Neuroscience Department and Brain and Mind Research Institute, with connections to the Appel Alzheimer’s Disease Research Institute.
The project focuses on astrocyte receptor function and immunometabolic cascades, including redox signaling and mitochondrial-nuclear crosstalk. The postdoctoral researcher will use molecular and biochemical approaches, live-cell imaging, cell cultures, and animal models to study disease biology and therapeutic opportunities.
Research activities include testing drug candidates and genetic approaches in mouse models, evaluating changes in neural activity and animal behavior, and applying advanced techniques to advance laboratory projects. The researcher will also analyze experimental data, contribute to manuscripts and presentations, assist with fellowship and grant activities, and help train students, interns, and other laboratory personnel.
The laboratory offers a highly collaborative and dynamic biomedical research environment spanning neuroscience, cell metabolism, electrophysiology, multiomic analysis, computational methods, and human iPSC-derived models.
