. 1 Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship @ Cláudia's Almeida Lab

An international call for one postdoctoral research fellowship under the project entitled “Understanding the Impact of a Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Mutation in CD2AP on Synapses", at Neuronal trafficking in aging Lab, under the supervision and mentoring of Cláudia Guimas Almeida, at the Center of Chronic Diseases Research – CEDOC of the NOVA Medical School | Universidade NOVA de Lisboa of Lisbon, is open.

The Postdoctoral Researcher will develop a novel cellular model of late-onset Alzheimeir’s disease using human neurons differentiated from hIPSCs edited with CrisPR-CAS9 with the patient’s mutations, to evaluate how Alzheimer’s late-onset mutations disrupt neuronal function.
Candidates must hold a PhD in Neurosciences or equivalent (PhD defended in the last 3 months or to be defended until the end of April). Failure to meet these requirements is sufficient to exclude candidates.

The call is open from April 7 to April 20, 2021 and applications must be sent by email to applications@nms.unl.pt, mentioning the reference of Bolsa DAI / 2021/05 in the subject.
