Responsibilities

The Rossoll Lab at Mayo Clinic Florida is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow to study the molecular and proteomic mechanisms underlying TDP-43 and tau proteinopathies associated with ALS/FTD and Alzheimer’s disease.

This position offers a unique opportunity to explore how disease-linked proteins such as TDP-43 and tau interact with cellular pathways that govern phase behavior, solubility, and neurotoxicity. The fellow will apply state-of-the-art proteomic profiling (IP-MS and proximity labeling), molecular and cell biology, and advanced imaging approaches to uncover protein networks that drive or protect against neurodegeneration.

The research environment provides access to world-class facilities including the Mayo Clinic Multi-Omics Mass Spectrometry Core, Brain Bank, and collaborative links to the neuroscience community at Mayo Clinic Florida.

The position offers an opportunity to work in a highly interactive neuroscience community at Mayo Clinic Florida, with access to world-class facilities and other resources, including the brain bank.

A Research Fellow position in Life Sciences (LS) will require knowledge of either clinical-based research or laboratory-based research often obtained from a postdoctoral program.

A Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic is a temporary position intended to provide training and education in research. Individuals will train in the research program of a Mayo Clinic principal investigator.
