| Aspect | Researcher Research Associate | Research Technician |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant field, sometimes PhD | Associate's or Bachelor's degree, technical certifications often preferred |

Job description
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher/Research Associate to join Dr. Brandebura's Lab to support our NIH funded research program investigating astrocyte dysfunction in Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease. Specifically, we will be focusing on:
1.) Defining molecular changes that occur within reactive astrocytes in Down Syndrome and Alzheimer's Disease,
2.) Targeting astrocytes to improve neuronal synaptic dysfunction,
3.) Understanding reactive astrocyte-microglia and astrocyte-vascular crosstalk in disorders of the nervous system.
Required skills include animal handling, experience in confocal imaging and immunohistochemistry, and experience in wet lab techniques such as western blotting, RNA extraction, and molecular cloning. Desired skills include experience with proteomics and familiarity with bioinformatic analysis pipelines, as well as exposure to iPSC differentiation into neuronal and glial cells.
Postdoctoral employment is temporary and is normally limited to an individual who has been awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate within the previous five years1 and who will be involved in full-time research or scholarship at the University. Employment as a Postdoctoral Research Associate is viewed as training and is preparatory for a full-time academic or research career, is supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the appointee to publish the results of his/her research or scholarship during the training period.
