Postdoctoral Research Associate in Neurochemistry of Ageing at the University of Sydney 2026

The Lipid Metabolism and Neurochemistry research team is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to a research program investigating why humans lose myelin with ageing and how this sensitizes us to neurodegenerative diseases of ageing. This is a molecular and cellular research project that is expected to generate new insights into brain metabolism, how glial cells and neurons communicate, and how these processes break down in the ageing brain.
