The Taub Institute for Research on Alzheimer's Disease and the aging brain is seeking a talented and highly motivated scientist to start up and run an internationally competitive research programme on microglial biology in Alzheimer's disease. The scienist would be employing cutting-edge tools including multi-omics, organoids, integration with ongoing human clinical and neuropathological phenotyping, genetics and AI/ML interrogation of large publicly available multi-omics data sets curated at Columbia and elsewhere.

PhD or equivalent with two or more years experience in one or more of the following themes:

• experience in standard molecular and cell biology, live cell and fixed cell microscopy,
• experience generation of microglia from iPSCs or other sources;
• experience in microglial biology (appropriate functional output assays such as phagocytosis, cell migration);
• experience in building multicellular organoids
• experience in generating and analysing multi-omics data (transcriptomics, lipidomics and metabolomics) and spatial transcriptomics/proteomics;

* proven ability to work collaboratively within small teams.
