  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Science: AD_Biology Location Abu Dhabi, UAE Open Date Apr 08, 2025 Description The RNA Modifications, Intellect, and NeuroDegeneration (RNA-MIND) Laboratory under the Biology Program, Division of Science, of New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a research associate/postdoctoral associate to work on projects focused on understanding RNA modification signaling pathways in the nervous system and their function in synaptic, neuronal and behavioral plasticity. The central goal of the laboratory is to study the neural mechanisms involving dynamic RNA modifications during cognitive development and decline. To achieve this, research projects rely on the use of a combination of techniques such as rodent behavioral analysis, biochemical, molecular and cell biology, in vivo and in vitro fluorescence imaging, and next-generation sequencing. Position duties...

  New York University: NYU - Global: Abu Dhabi: AD_Engineering Location Abu Dhabi, UAE Open Date May 26, 2025 Description The Quantitative Synthetic Biology group ( https://netb.io/ ) at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks highly motivated and collaborative applicants to fill a Research Associate position in synthetic biology. Projects will target various sources of context-dependence in synthetic biology, such as metabolic burden due to the competition of shared DNA replication and transcriptional/translational resources. As a representative example, a project may focus on how the behavior of common modules (e.g., toggle switch) is impacted by perturbations in the expression profiles of other genes, redistributing the common pool of scarce resources. Interested applicants are expected to lead the experimental efforts, though they are also welcome to get involved with modeling aspects of these projects....
