The Translational Neuroproteomics Laboratory (Rossoll Lab) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our Foundation-funded project to define the proteomic composition and molecular environment of pathological phospho-TDP-43 (pTDP-43) aggregates in human brain tissue and determine how these associated proteins contribute to neurodegeneration in sporadic frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP). The project integrates microscope-guided photolabeling/proximity proteomics in FFPE human brain tissue, affinity purification, data-independent acquisition LC-MS/MS, multiplexed spatial biology, proteomics data analysis, and functional validation in cellular and organotypic brain-slice culture models of TDP-43 proteinopathy. The position offers an opportunity to work in a highly interactive neuroscience community at Mayo Clinic Florida, with access to world-class facilities, including the Multiomics Mass Spectrometry (MMS) core, and the Mayo Clinic brain bank. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Wilfried Rossoll at rossoll.wilfried@mayo.edu.
