Job Details:

We recently secured NIH funding for a project investigating
heterotypic amyloid interactions as modulators of selective cellular vulnerability. We're looking for two experienced
postdoctoral researchers with strong backgrounds in
cell biology and
biophysics, both within a protein aggregation context.
About the lab The SWITCH Laboratory is a leader in the field of protein aggregation research related to human disease. We are an interdisciplinary workplace, bringing together more than twentyfive researchers from different backgrounds, such as bioinformatics, biophysics, chemistry and cell biology. SWITCH has a unique platform of technologies for studying protein aggregation, including biophysical, ultrastructural and cell biological instrumentations. You can read more about us on our website and be sure to check out our laboratory section to explore the fantastic infrastructure that SWITCH has to offer
The Jobs Together with the PIs of the Switch Lab you will be part of a team of post docs and technicians and will be a driving force for this project. You will be well supported on an administrative level, allowing you to focus on the science, both handson in the lab and analyzing data.
