Description

The Gliomics Research Group is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to join them at the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis. The lab is interested in understanding the genetic regulation of microglia states in neurodegenerative diseases. The researchers aim to identify, track, and manipulate microglia states using various in vitro and in vivo stem cell models, genomics, epigenetics, and imaging techniques. 

For this project, they are looking for a postdoctoral fellow interested in understanding how epigenetic regulation impacts microglia states and functions in Alzheimer's disease. The candidate will benefit from the outstanding multidisciplinary and highly collaborative environment in the Center for Neuroscience at UC Davis, the Molecular and Cellular Biology Department, and collaboration with multiple investigators part of our Neuroimmune Consortium.
