Neuro-Memory and Aging
Full Time
Req Number:
84390BR
Our research is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging that lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. To do this, our group uses in vitro tools, tissue culture, and mouse models to study changes in the lysosomal system with aging and disease with the ultimate goal of developing ways to modify this system to treat disease.
The project will focus on using novel imaging and biochemical tools to study regional changes in the lysosomal system in mice and tissue culture. The Staff Research Associate will have key roles that include maintenance of our small mouse colony and genotyping as well as assisting with the development and execution of biochemical and confocal imaging techniques. Once proficiency is demonstrated, they will learn tissue culture techniques. This position will be directly trained by the PI on the project, Dr. Lane-Donovan. Strong communication skills and a background in molecular biology is required. A college degree is required and laboratory experience in wet lab experiments is required. Applicants intending on progressing to graduate or medical school are encouraged to apply.
Your placement within the salary range is dependent on a number of factors including your work experience and internal equity within this position classification at UCSF. For positions that are represented by a labor union, placement within the salary range will be guided by the rules in the collective bargaining agreement.
