About this position
Washington University in St. Louis (WashU Medicine) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Pathology & Immunology at the Washington University Medical Campus in St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
The position is in the laboratory of Dr. Sadaf Amin and focuses on innate immune pathways in neurodegenerative diseases and brain aging. Research projects include studying immune–RNA crosstalk in neurodegeneration, mito-nuclear retrograde signaling, microglial dysfunction, and senescence in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
The lab uses iPSC-based systems, transgenic mouse models, single-cell sequencing, CRISPR–Cas9 screening, and interactome profiling. The postdoc will contribute to identifying novel therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disease and will work in a collaborative, growing research group.
Eligibility highlights: Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent terminal/doctoral degree required. Preferred backgrounds include neuroscience, computational biology, cell and developmental biology, or related fields. Experience with iPSC culture, in vitro disease modeling, transgenic mice, R/Python, and single-nucleus RNA sequencing analysis is strongly preferred or encouraged.
Funding: salary is commensurate with experience; no fixed stipend amount is listed.
How to apply: submit a cover letter, CV, and 3 letters of recommendation to Sadaf Amin at [email protected]. Apply via the Workday posting link.
