Scientist

We're hiring an extremely talented scientist focused on neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease. A deep background in Alzheimer's disease and dementia prevention is critical for success in this role, as are an intervention-oriented mindset to prevention and regenerative CNS medicine. Designing strategies to protect aging neurons and regenerate damaged neurons are two primary goals.

At ICR, you'll get to:

• Devise novel practical and actionable interventions to slow age-related cognitive decline and prevent dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease
• Research highly translational technologies to preserve existing CNS function or repair/restore damaged CNS components
• Collaborate with other ICR scientists to leverage company resources and maximize productivity

Please apply if you have:

• A PhD with postdoctoral experience focused on regenerating lost CNS neurons/other cells, repairing damaged CNS neurons/other cells or preventing age-related brain damage
• Extensive knowledge of iPSC (induced pluripotent stem cell)-derived in vitro neuronal models as well as experience with exosomes as therapeutics; additional mixed cell-type culture models is preferred
• Experience making iPSC-derived brain organoids for compound screening
• Even if you don't meet all of these criteria, please apply anyway

Ideally, you'll also have:

• Hands-on experience with fluorescence microscopy
• Experience with mitochondrial energetic assay systems like Seahorse
• Knowledge of basic stem cell-derived neuronal-type differentiation pathways
• A deep understanding of modern preventive and regenerative CNS medicine
• Expertise in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases

And you'll need:

• A friendly, easygoing personality
• The ability to work in the United States without sponsorship

Compensation is commensurate with experience.
