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.

Funding details

The starting salary is $75,812. This is a one-year appointment with potential for annual reappointment contingent upon performance and funding availability. Employee benefits are available, and candidates may be eligible for J-1 Exchange visitor or H-1B temporary worker visas.

What's required

Applicants must have a recent PhD in Neuroscience, Cell Biology, or a related field, demonstrated ability to conduct research independently and collaboratively, and excellent oral, written, and organizational skills. Preferred experience includes electrophysiological methods in isolated neural cells and in vivo, lipidomic or metabolomic profiling, epigenomic methods, scientific data processing, computation, presentation, cell metabolism, proteomic profiling, and human iPSC-derived models.

How to apply

Send a CV, cover letter describing your research experience, accomplishments, and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Anna Orr at [email protected].
