Neurodegenerative Disease Senior Scientist

Job description

Parallel Squared Technology Institute (PTI) is a non-profit research institute developing technologies, reagents, and computational tools to increase the sensitivity and throughput of protein analysis, with a specific focus on single-cell proteomics. We are applying these innovations to societally-relevant areas of biomedical research. As part of these efforts, we are developing new approaches to study protein dysfunctions in Alzheimer’s and related neurodegenerative diseases. Summary of Position We are seeking scientist and senior scientist candidates to help drive our efforts to use single-cell proteomics to understand the causes of Alzheimer’s and related neurodegenerative diseases. Ideal candidates will have expertise in the molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration and direct, hand-on experience in single-cell analysis, computational biology, and brain tissue handling. Candidates will have the opportunity to work as part of an interdisciplinary team in multiple areas, including on NIH-funded projects, using proteomic technologies developed at PTI to discover new molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s and related disorders. Day-to-day responsibilities include...
