Subject: ARUK post-doc position at UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing

[cid:D7E7DBA5-7196-4F21-B283-B4F12664B16A]

The UCL Institute of Healthy Ageing<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/iha> is currently seeking a post-doctoral research associate to work on the following ARUK-funded project.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are two devastating, mid-life, neurodegenerative disorders for which no cure is currently available. Large expansions of a hexanucleotide GGGGCC-repeat in the first intron of the C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of both ALS and FTD. We recently developed novel Drosophila models of C9orf72 repeat-induced neurodegeneration (Mizielinska et al Science 2014, 345:1192-1194).

This 3-year post-doctoral position will build on this work by investigating disease mechanisms in a range of C9orf72 fly lines using several approaches including genome-wide transcriptomic and translational analyses in both flies and iPSC-neurons. You will work as part of a collaborative team of investigators in the excellent and supportive scientific research community of UCL.

The post is funded for 3 years in the first instance by Alzheimer’s Research UK<http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/> and is available from October 2016.

For full information and to apply please visit the UCL website at https://goo.gl/E5vk8j. The closing date for applications is 21 September 2016.
