TARGETED POSITIONS:

Ph.D. Position:

Unveiling the role of protein aggregation in Parkinson’s disease and neurodegenerative disorders

A Ph.D. position in Neuroscience / molecular medicine are available at the Faculty of Medicine, Université Laval (https://www.ulaval.ca/) in Quebec City, Canada (https://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/en/).

The selected candidate will work on a collaborative project in the Laboratory of Dr. Abid Oueslati (Cellular and Molecular Neurodegeneration). This project aims to understand the role of protein aggregation, notably alpha-synuclein aggregation, in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegeneration.

The project will be essentially based on using a multidisciplinary approach, including optogenetic, mouse model, brain tissue CLARITY and Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy.

The Ph.D. applicant must have a master in neuroscience or cell biology, or the equivalent, in addition to a strong academic record.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of 2-3 references to Dr. Oueslati (abid.oueslati.1@ulaval.ca)
