Postdoctoral Research Associate - Genetics

Postdoctoral fellow position in the laboratory of Dr. Jeff Milbrandt in the Department of Genetics at Washington University in St. Louis, focused on understanding mechanisms of axon degeneration and their roles in neurodegenerative disease. Projects investigate NAD homeostasis, SARM1 activity, motor neuron vulnerabilities, and the cellular composition of peripheral nerves using human genetics, viral therapies, and disease models. The role is NIH-funded and requires candidates to be available to visit St. Louis for potential interviews.
