Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position in spatial proteomics focused on frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The project aims to uncover the molecular and cellular causes of FTD that drive disease onset and early progression, with the long-term goal of supporting evidence-based treatment design. In this PhD project, you will design and execute proteomics studies using human postmortem brain tissue from sporadic FTD patients and human iPSC-derived neurons. The research combines highly innovative sing...

About this position

The Queensland Brain Institute at The University of Queensland is offering a postdoctoral research opportunity in neuroscience focused on therapies for Alzheimer’s disease. The project sits at the intersection of low-intensity ultrasound, antibody engineering, and neurodegeneration, with a strong emphasis on improving anti-tau monoclonal antibodies so they can more effectively reach intraneuronal targets in the brain.

In this research-focused role, the fellow will work on optimizing a modified monoclonal antibody for increased intracellular uptake in vivo and on improving its specificity for neuronal uptake using innovative approaches. The role includes designing and carrying out in vitro and in vivo studies to validate tau-targeting antibodies, analysing data, preparing manuscripts and reports, and presenting findings in academic settings. The work is embedded in a collaborative and high-performing neuroscience team within a vibrant research community dedicated to discovery and translation.

The post offers the chance to contribute to a program aimed at developing novel therapeutic outcomes for Alzheimer’s disease, with direct involvement in antibody development and translational neuroscience research. The environment is research-intensive, interdisciplinary, and closely connected to the broader institute and university research community.

Funding details

Fixed-term full-time postdoctoral salary: Academic Level A, base salary range AUD 85,373 to 113,660 plus 17% superannuation for 12 months.

What's required

Completion of a PhD in Biochemistry, Protein Engineering, Neuroscience or a relevant discipline is required. Applicants should have demonstrated experience in protein chemistry, recombinant protein expression and cell culture, proficiency in oral and written communication, publications in reputable refereed journals, conference presentation experience, and experience contributing to collaborative research environments, internal service activities or external engagement. Applicants must maintain unrestricted work rights in Australia for the duration of the appointment; employer-sponsored work rights are not available. Pre-employment checks include verification of the right to work in Australia and qualifications.
