Our laboratory is looking for a responsible, highly motivated post-doctor to work on projects related to Rett syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease. Ongoing projects include glial biology in neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, evaluation of novel small molecule compounds using Alzheimer mouse models, and new approaches to image amyloid. We and our collaborators employ a multidisciplinary approach. The methods used include transgenic models, neural cell cultures, neurohistology, molecular biology, combinatorial chemistry, nanoparticles, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, among others.

Dr. Jin is the neuropathology director of the M.I.N.D. (Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders) Institute and the Alzheimer’s Disease Center at University of California Davis, which provide excellent environment for the study of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. If you are interested, please send your CV to Dr. Maezawa at imaezawa@ucdavis.edu. Successful candidate will be invited for interview and will be asked for three references.
