9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for an ambitious and career-focused postdoc interested in advancing our knowledge how short telomeres cause aging and disease. The ideal candidate would be open to using in vivo (mouse and rat) as well as diverse in vitro models ( human, mouse and rat intestinal and lung organoids) approaches to dissect the mechanisms by which short telomeres cause organ failure and disease. We are particularly interested in how telomere shortening affects the immune system and drives intestinal inflammation . In the intestine, the candidate will also expected to look at the contribution of the microbiome to short telomere-induced intestinal and peripheral disease such as in the brain.
