Predoctoral Position in Mitochondrial Lipid Metabolism

The Translational Energy Metabolism Group at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid seeks a predoc researcher to investigate mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) in disease contexts, spanning lactation, adulthood, and ageing. The role involves managing transgenic mouse colonies, performing primary cell/organoid cultures, analyzing mitochondrial function via advanced techniques (e.g., Seahorse analyzers, BN-PAGE), and integrating multi-omics data from preclinical and clinical cohorts. Candidates should have a Master’s degree, laboratory animal handling experience, and proficiency in CRISPR/Cas9 and bioinformatics.
