The Miller Lab in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at UC San Diego is looking for a Post-Doctoral Researcher interested in neuronal cell biology. The research is at the intersection of cholesterol metabolism/lipid rafts and neuroinflammation/neurodegeneration. A specific focus of the postdoctoral project will be on protective function of apoA-I binding protein (AIBP), the protein that selectively, in a TLR4-dependent manner, regulates lipid rafts in inflamed and cholesterol-overloaded cells. The successful candidate will be a recent PhD graduate with a strong publication record and demonstrated expertise in neuronal/glial cell biology and molecular techniques, high-resolution imaging and mouse models of neurodegeneration. The fellow will be part of a vibrant research community combining insights from mechanisms involved in the development of lipid abnormalities, atherosclerosis, neuroinflammation, neuropathic pain, and Alzheimer's Disease, with a strong focus on translation of scientific discoveries into clinic.

Interested individuals should apply by including curriculum vitae, statement of personal objectives, and names and contact information of three professional references to: [email protected].
