About this position
Boston University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in the laboratory of Ella Zeldich, Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology. This opportunity sits at the intersection of neuroscience, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, Down syndrome, and Down syndrome-associated Alzheimer’s disease.
The project is supported by a recently awarded NIH R01 and will investigate how HMGN1, a chromosome 21-encoded chromatin-associated protein and alarmin, contributes to neuroinflammatory signaling in the trisomic brain. The work will use human iPSC-derived cortical organoid models, genetically engineered isogenic iPSC lines, iPSC-derived microglia, advanced imaging, molecular approaches, and integration of transcriptomic and epigenetic datasets.
The lab is seeking a motivated scientist with training in neuroscience, stem cell biology, molecular/cell biology, immunology, or a related field. Experience with iPSCs, organoids, neuroinflammation, glial biology, imaging, or omics approaches would be especially valuable.
This postdoctoral role is a strong fit for someone aiming to build an independent research direction in human stem cell models and brain disease. The position also offers opportunities for teaching, mentoring, scientific presentations, and career development.
Location: Boston University, Boston, MA, United States.
How to apply: Reach out directly to Ella Zeldich if interested. No formal deadline was stated in the post.
