About this role
The Dr. Chanda lab at Scripps Research is looking for talented, highly motivated post-doctoral candidates with a background in neuroscience and/or immunology. The available position will focus on studying the molecular mechanisms of aberrant innate immune responses in the context of neurodegeneration. These studies will utilize systems biology (e.g., CRISPR/RNAi, proteomics/chemoproteomics, chemical biology, NextGen Sequencing, etc.), as well as fundamental immunology and more traditional cellular/molecular biology and biochemistry-based approaches. The position will provide opportunities to work with pharmaceutical partners to translate basic research into clinical applications.
