About this position

Weill Cornell Medicine is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate in Neuroscience focused on the intersection of neurovascular biology and neurodegeneration. The project investigates how neurovascular dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, using mouse models of amyloid pathology, tauopathy, and APOE-associated disease risk (including Tg2576, 5xFAD, PS19, and APOE3/4-targeted replacement mice).

The postdoc will work with a broad experimental toolkit: cranial window surgery over the somatosensory cortex, cerebral blood flow measurements (laser speckle imaging, laser Doppler flowmetry, multiphoton microscopy, MRI), behavioral studies, tissue collection and biorepository organization, amyloid-β/tau/ApoE assays, vibratome and cryostat sectioning, immunohistochemistry, RNAscope, and light/confocal microscopy. The role also includes maintaining mouse colonies and supporting lab operations.

Applicants should hold a PhD. Prior in vivo animal surgery experience, especially cranial window preparation, is preferred, though training will be provided. Experience with reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, neuroinflammation, and computational analysis of spatial or other omics datasets is desirable. Strong organization, curiosity, and collaborative skills are highlighted.

This is a one-year postdoctoral appointment with potential for reappointment. The posting lists a salary of $76,000 and notes standard employee benefits. Visa options may include J-1 and H-1B. The position is located at the Feil Research Building, New York, NY, United States.

To apply, send a cover letter, CV, and 2–3 letters of recommendation to Dr. Park at the email provided in the posting.
