Introduction
Postdoc Position – University of Lausanne, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Paolicelli Lab
Presentation
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to study the role of microglial function in the pathogenesis of brain disorders. Microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system, play important functions in the healthy as well as in the diseased brain. Several genes associated with the risk of developing brain diseases are highly expressed in microglia, and recent evidence suggests that these cells can critically influence the onset and course of several pathologies. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms are not entirely clear.
Job information
Expected start date in position : September 2025
Contract length : 1 year with possibility of renewal
Activity rate : 100%
Workplace : University of Lausanne, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Paolicelli Lab
Your responsibilities
This project will focus on the influence of stress and lipid metabolism on microglia, following paradigms that recapitulate early life adverse events.
We will combine in vivo (cKO mouse lines) and ex vivo/in vitro models (organotypic slices and primary microglia cultures) with biochemical and histological approaches, confocal imaging, lipidomics and sc-RNA sequencing.
Your qualifications
Full habilitation to work with animals is a must. Expertise in microglia biology and lipid metabolism is highly appreciated. Candidates are required to be fluent in written and spoken English. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in neurobiology, be highly motivated, and able to work independently.
What the position offers you
The University of Lausanne is a higher teaching and research institution composed of seven faculties where approximately 15,000 students and nearly 5,000 collaborators, professors, and researchers work and study. Ideally situated along the lake of Geneva, near Lausanne’s city center, its campus brings together over 120 nationalities.
