Postdoctoral Scientist - Walther Lab

Join the Walther laboratory at the Sloan Kettering Institute, which studies the biochemistry of cellular lipid storage, mobilisation and homeostasis. Projects address how metabolic alterations affect normal brain function, or how lipid metabolism contributes to neurodegeneration, using cellular and mouse models.

PhD in physiology, neurobiology, cell biology, biochemistry, structural biology, molecular biology or a closely related discipline, with a strong publication record. Strong organisation, collaboration and communication skills. Research experience in brain metabolism, neurodegeneration (including ALS or Alzheimer's disease) or cell biology, and with cellular or mouse models, is preferred; candidates with a physics background are also encouraged.
