Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Post-Doctoral Scholar Position

The Kaczorowski lab at the University of Michigan is recruiting post-doctoral scholars to evaluate interventions; such as drugs, nutraceutical, and bioceuticals, that might slow aging and extend the healthy lifespan in genetically heterogenous mice. The Kaczorowski lab utilizes cutting edge neuroanatomical, neuroimaging, computational, and behavioral genetic approaches to understand the cellular and physiological pathways that modulate the aging rate and multiple disease risks.

The Kaczorowski Lab team values excellence, integrity, impact and kindness - and we are looking for postdoctoral trainees who are enthusiastic and creative.

The Kaczorowski lab is in the Department of Neurology at the University of Michigan Medical School located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The city is ranked among the top 10 places to live in the U.S, with a community that is pedestrian and bike friendly.
