Postdoctoral Researcher in Redox Biology and Neurodegeneration
Join RedoxNeuroLab to advance research on oxidative stress and neurodegeneration with a Juan de la Cierva 2026 contract.
Best for:Best for postdoctoral researchers with a PhD in neuroscience, biochemistry, or related fields, specializing in oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, or redox biology, and with 4–10 years of research experience.
Overview
This postdoctoral position at the RedoxNeuroLab, based at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid’s Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas Sols-Morreale (IIBM-CSIC/UAM), focuses on oxidative stress and neurodegeneration. The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge research on lipid alterations, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroprotective strategies targeting diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The lab collaborates with national and international networks, including CIBERNED and IdiPAZ, offering a dynamic environment for early-career researchers. The role is ideal for PhD holders with 4–10 years of experience seeking to develop their academic career in biomedical neuroscience.
What you'll do
- Conduct independent and collaborative research on oxidative stress and neurodegeneration, focusing on lipid metabolism, synaptic dysfunction, and neuroprotective pathways.
- Develop and validate experimental models to study redox biology in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
- Identify and characterize molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention in tauopathies and related disorders.
- Collaborate with national and international research networks (CIBERNED, IdiPAZ) to advance translational research in neurodegeneration.
- Publish findings in high-impact scientific journals and present research at national and international conferences.
- Contribute to the supervision of junior researchers and participate in lab meetings, workshops, and training activities.
