Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity: Advancing the Use of Extracellular Vesicles for Mitochondrial Transfer to Damaged or Aging Neurons
Organization
University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Ctr., Athens, Georgia, United States
Scientific focus area
Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Stem Cell Biology, Clinical Research, Molecular Pharmacology
The University of Georgia's Regenerative Bioscience Center (RBC) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in cutting-edge regenerative medicine research. This opportunity focuses on the use of extracellular vesicles (EVs) to facilitate mitochondrial transfer to damaged or aging neurons—an innovative approach poised to transform the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and age-related neuronal decline.
About the position
We are seeking two highly motivated and innovative Postdoctoral Fellows to join our research team focused on the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mitochondrial transfer to damaged or aging neurons. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of cell biology, neuroscience, and mitochondrial medicine to explore novel therapeutic strategies aimed at rejuvenating neurons using EVs.

Postdoctoral position at the NCI
A postdoctoral position is available at the DNA Replication Group (PI: Mirit I. Aladjem, Ph.D.), a part of the NCI’s Developmental Therapeutics Branch in Bethesda, Maryland. Our group aims to understand cellular networks that signal to and from chromatin to modulate DNA replication. Since many regulatory feedback pathways are deregulated in cancer cells, the results of these studies will help our understanding of cancer biology and the mechanisms underlying therapeutic strategies.

Staff Scientist
A Staff Scientist Position is open in the Synaptic Function Section at the NINDS, NIH. The selected candidate will lead multidisciplinary investigations into reprogramming mitochondrial trafficking and energy metabolism. These studies will leverage advanced imaging of living neurons derived from diseased mouse models and human iPSCs to elucidate mechanisms governing mitochondria positioning and energy metabolism, and the brain’s adaptative responses to dynamic energy stress.
