Donmez lab invites applications for a postdoctoral position investigating the role of sirtuins in neurodegeneration and aging. The research will take place in the laboratory of Dr. Gizem Donmez in the Department of Neuroscience at Tufts University School of Medicine. Research in Donmez lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the aging process in brain and also neurodegeneration, with the aim of developing therapeutics for age-related pathologies. The lab uses genetic, molecular and biochemical techniques to study the role of sirtuins in neurodegeneration in mice. Candidates should have doctoral degree in Molecular biology or Neuroscience, should be highly motivated and have prior experience in mouse research.
