The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Worcester, Massachusetts, us, 01609
Job Title:
Postdoc – Zebrafish, Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Drug Discovery, Proteins
Job Number:
81653
Location:
Worcester, US
Job DescriptionThe Thyme lab ( https://www.thymelab.org/ ) uses zebrafish as a model system to understand the genetic mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders. The research focuses on discovering new therapies for intellectual disability, a common feature of many genetic neurodevelopmental disorders.
Increasing understanding of cell types, signaling pathways, and connections crucial for learning.
Characterizing genes related to human neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Down syndrome.
Developing various approaches for drug discovery, such as computational prediction and sequencing-based tools.
The lab is a blend of Dr. Thyme's expertise in protein engineering and zebrafish neurobiology, offering a diverse environment for candidates interested in these fields. The lab welcomes applicants from various backgrounds, including biochemists, zebrafish experts, and researchers experienced in other model systems like Drosophila or C. elegans.
The position involves experiments utilizing techniques like molecular biology, zebrafish genome editing, antibody staining, biochemistry, high-resolution imaging, behavioral assays, drug screens, and transcriptomics. Postdocs will receive training in cluster computing and programming languages like Python.
The lab, established in July 2019, has received prestigious new faculty awards and focuses on research related to autism, schizophrenia, dark proteome proteins, and alternative splicing events crucial for neurodevelopment.
Funding for this position may come from NIH R01 grants.
To apply, please send an email of interest and CV.
