This full-time position is limited to 36 month. Remuneration is in accordance with the collective agreement of the Länder (TV-L).

At the Rodríguez -Muela's lab, we aim to understand the molecular principles that govern the selective neuronal vulnerability characteristic of all neurodegenerative diseases.

We specifically focus on the motor neuron diseases SMA and ALS and in Alzheimer's disease and use as main model system human iPSC-derived 2D and 3D models.

For this interdisciplinary project, the recruited postdoc will study SMA and ALS from a development angle and investigate whether these diseases have a neurodevelopmental component that triggers the onset in the postnatal/adult life and which are the underlying mechanistic events.
