Principal Investigator, Dr. Warren G. Tourtellotte is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!

A Postdoctoral Scientist position is immediately available to work on projects related to microglia in neurodegeneration or in projects related to growth factor and tyrosine kinase receptor signaling. The Tourtellotte Lab studies the role of microglia immune function in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease (Gomez et al., Nat. Aging, 5(7) : 1280), and the role of growth factor signaling in peripheral neuropathy and tyrosine kinase receptor signaling (Li et al., J. Clin. Invest., : 2478; Gosh and Tourtellotte, Ann. Rev. Pathology, 16 : 487; Jackson et al., Development : 2452). Depending on the relevant expertise and specific interests, the successful candidate will be a leader of an independent research project but can contribute to all projects in the lab with co-authorship on manuscripts. Working independently, but in close cooperation and consultation with the Principal Investigator (PI) and other Research Scientists in the lab, the Postdoctoral Scientist will perform routine and complex laboratory procedures throughout the training period. The candidate will be expected to design and conduct experiments, collect and analyze data, troubleshoot experiments, analyze data for publication and grant applications, present research at national and international meetings, and prepare manuscripts for publication. Teaching other research staff, students and clinical residents may be required. With support from the PI and as the candidate progresses in their training, they will be expected to compete for research funding that will appropriately support their independent career development.
