Position Summary:
The Fon lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow (PDF) based at
McGill University
to contribute to the establishment of a robust induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based platform to screen for Parkinson’s disease (PD) phenotypes in human cell models. The PDF will expand and validate our suite of human iPSC-based PD-relevant cellular assays using established PD gene variants as benchmarks. They will also implement within the standardized platform the use of CRISPR interference- and activation-based iPSC systems to more accurately model endogenous PD risk gene perturbations. They will characterize and compare phenotypic features of PD in various PD models, including neuronal and microglial cultures. They will also be expected to develop and pursue their own academic project within the platform, in line with the interests of the lab.
The PDF will be based at the Montreal Neurological Institute (
