Gerontology

An in-person Stanford symposium highlighting recent progress in brain resilience and aging research, followed by a neuroscience poster session featuring work from the Stanford community.

This EMBO Workshop examines how protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation shape health across the lifespan, connecting fundamental proteostasis mechanisms with ageing and degenerative disease.

Investigate whether bone mineral density predicts balance and mobility in older adults with different fall risks. Combine DXA measurements with high-density surface electromyography and functional assessments including walking speed, standing balance and sit-to-stand performance. The fellow will also coordinate protocols, data analysis, quality control and papers. This on-site role in Limeira is expected to start in January 2027. Applications are accepted from 2 to 30 September 2026 through the instructions on the investigator’s notice, with a CV, motivation letter and two reference contacts.
