招聘简介：
博士后助理 - Kaczorowski实验室
杰克逊实验室的Kaczorowski实验室正在寻找一名博士后研究员来研究对正常衰老和阿尔茨海默病的易感性和恢复力
Postdoctoral Associate – Kaczorowski Lab
The Kaczorowski Lab at The Jackson Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate mechanisms underlying susceptibility and resilience to normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease (https://www.neuro-central.com/2018/09/19/risk-resilience-understanding-role-genetics-alzheimers-disease/). Dr. Kaczorowski is an Associate Professor and the Evnin Family Endowed Chair in Alzheimer’s Research at the Jackson Laboratory – a research institution specializing in genetics and genomics in order to discover solutions for disease. Projects leverage novel mouse models, in vitro slice electrophysiology, circuit mapping and genome engineering to understand how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence learning and memory, cognitive aging, neurodegeneration, and Alzheimer’s. Sources of support include NIH, BrightFocus, The Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, as well as generous philanthropy awards in support of research and innovation in areas of normal aging and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Exceptional candidates will have the opportunity to apply for the prestigious JAXScholar award, which supports promising early-career postdoctoral associates conducting cutting edge biomedical and basic biological research at JAX. The award includes an independent research and travel budget and a salary above our standard postdoctoral scale (https://www.jax.org/education-and-learning/pre-and-postdoctoral-program/jax-scholars.
Key Responsibilities:
• The successful candidate will be encouraged to develop an independent research program using a broad array of resources and expertise available to the lab (https://www.jax.org/research-and-faculty/tools/scientific-research-services).
• Motivation and curiosity, and the desire to see things through are paramount.
• Demonstrates the ability to plan, execute and analyze an independent research project, with preference given to highly career-oriented individuals.
Requirements:
• Ph.D. or M.D. in Neuroscience;

About us:
The Jackson Laboratory (JAX, www.jax.org) is a nonprofit biomedical research institute with over 2,000 employees whose mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for human disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health. A National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center, JAX has a mammalian genetics headquarters in Bar Harbor, Maine, a facility in Sacramento, California, and a genomic medicine facility, The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM), in Farmington, Connecticut.
The Jackson Laboratory’s 43-acre scenic Bar Harbor campus is nestled between the Gulf of Maine and the mountains of Acadia National Park. Some of the best hiking and biking in the world (over 50 square miles of mountains, lakes, views, and dramatic coastline) is accessible from our campus. We are one mile from downtown Bar Harbor, which offers a vibrant downtown district with a plethora of restaurants, shops, museums, and galleries.
JAX employees work in a collaborative, value-driven, and team-based environment where the focus is on advancing science and improving patients’ lives. Researchers apply genetics to increase the understanding of human disease and advance treatments and cures for cancer, neurological and immune disorders, diabetes, aging, and heart disease. JAX was voted among the top 15 “Best Places to Work in Academia” in the United States in a poll conducted by The Scientist magazine!
Our Values:
INTEGRITY – Courage and commitment to do what is right
PEOPLE – Inspiring our people to enhance the health of all
