Description The Water Research Center at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to develop calix[n]arene-based covalent organic frameworks for water purification, under the supervision of Professor Ali Trabolsi, Professor of Chemistry and co-PI at the Water Research Center. The successful candidate will develop new calix[n]arene-based covalent organic frameworks for water purification applications. To explore this area of macrocycle-based porous frameworks for water contaminant removal, the candidate will be involved in the directed synthesis of organic macrocycle containing linkers and porous frameworks and then investigate the supramolecular interactions with various organic pollutants. This would require knowledge in the design and synthesis of porous frameworks, particularly in techniques such as Schlenk line, glove box, powder X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, electron microscopy, and porosity analysis. The candidate is expected to have a thorough understanding of the analytical techniques used to characterize the materials. Experience in the application of such materials to water treatment is preferred. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Applicants must have a PhD in chemistry or materials science.

Postdoctoral Researchers in Autophagy and Metabolism
University of Helsinki
Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)
University of Helsinki
Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)
The McWilliams Lab investigates physiological autophagy, a membrane-driven lysosomal degradation pathway essential for cell, circuit and tissue homeostasis. Impairments in autophagy and lysosomal function are causally linked to neurodegeneration and age-related pathology. We use integrative multiscale approaches to define the mechanistic interplay between autophagy and metabolism and determine how this relationship impacts neural integrity in health and disease. Our ultimate goal is to identify new therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases. About Us We work at the interface of discovery and translation within a well-resourced and internationally connected research environment. The PI is a Scholar of the FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence, and the lab is embedded in the Novo Nordisk Foundation EnergAge Consortium for Metabolic Aging and SWAN-Helsinki, with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and core facilities. We value scientific rigor and a collaborative working culture. The opportunity We are recruiting two Postdoctoral Researchers to advance ambitious projects that dissect the molecular logic of circuit and tissue integrity. The projects build on our recent advances in brain aging (Rappe et al., The EMBO Journal, 2024), metabolic regulation (Long et al., The EMBO Journal, 2022), and human neurological disease (Collier et al., The New England Journal of Medicine, 2021). You will work with the PI and lab members to apply newly developed tools and leverage unpublished datasets to design and execute rigorous functional studies in vitro and in vivo. In addition to developing yourself scientifically within an internationally competitive environment, you will receive regular feedback and strategic mentoring to support research excellence, professional development, and preparation for your next career stage. Your profile Recent PhD in Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Biochemistry or a related discipline. A strong academic track record, and at least one recent first-author publication (accepted or in press) in an internationally recognised peer-reviewed journal. Demonstrated hands-on expertise in working with one of the following: Mammalian cell culture systems and discovery biology (cell biology is advantageous) Mouse models and functional in vivo profiling approaches (neurobiology is advantageous; however, training can be provided if necessary) A genuine team player who values collective success and contributes positively to the lab culture. Highly organised, methodical, and self-directed, with the capacity to advance complex projects with clarity and momentum. An open and collaborative approach to trainee development and mentorship within the team. Ability to design, execute, and troubleshoot experiments to a high technical standard, with strong data analysis and interpretation skills. Excellent communication skills and a strong command of written and spoken English. A clear intellectual interest in organelle biology and its relevance to neuroscience and biomedicine. Preferred qualifications Demonstrated competence with core molecular biology techniques (including vector design, genome-targeting strategies, and PCR-based workflows). Experience with viral delivery, transduction, functional perturbations, and rescue experiments. Experience in biochemical and/or histological profiling of cell- and tissue-specific phenotypes. Confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis expertise. Evidence of sustained productivity with technically demanding research projects. Prior experience in either modern neurobiology or organelle biochemistry would be highly desirable. What we offer The position is initially available for 18 months (with the possibility of extension), and a trial period of six months will be applied. The monthly gross starting salary will be approximately 3,700–4,000 EUR per month depending on the appointee’s qualifications and experience. The chosen applicant is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki.
