About this position
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the United States is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Krainer Lab, led by Dr. Adrian Krainer.
The project focuses on the mechanistic dissection of a neurodevelopmental genetic disorder and the preclinical development of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of RNA biology, genetics, neuroscience, and translational therapeutic development.
Research activities include establishing and characterizing mouse models, analyzing transcriptome perturbations with next-generation sequencing, RT-PCR, and qPCR, studying neurodevelopmental phenotypes, and investigating structure-function relationships using disease-causing missense mutants and cell-based/biochemical assays. The role also involves identifying downstream splicing or expression changes and developing ASOs to restore normal expression.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, RNA Biology, Neuroscience, Pharmacology, or a related field. A strong publication record and experience with RNA analysis, gene expression, or RNA-protein interaction studies are required. Preferred experience includes ASOs, RNA therapeutics, alternative splicing, mouse models, next-generation sequencing, and bioinformatic analysis.
The position offers a competitive salary of $74,300 per year plus benefits including health coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, and wellness programs. Apply via the SchoolJobs portal linked in the post; the job references Position ID 02299.
