New York University Abu Dhabi

<div>
 The Cell Death Signaling Laboratory at the Division of Science (Biology), New York University Abu Dhabi, invites applications for a Junior Research Scientist position to study the role and molecular mechanisms of acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) in ferroptosis. This project seeks to elucidate how the tumor-suppressive lipid ceramide regulates ferroptosis and contributes to iron mobilization that drives lipid peroxidation during this unique form of regulated cell death. The successful candidate will participate in an exciting research program exploring the emerging role of ceramide in promoting ferroptosis through signaling networks that control iron accumulation and oxidative stress. Our laboratory has recently identified a pivotal role for acid sphingomyelinase in autophagy-dependent ferroptosis, uncovering critical links between ASM activity and key cell death signaling pathways. To further unravel these mechanisms, the candidate will contribute to the development of advanced cell-based and analytical techniques, combining molecular and biochemical approaches such as Western blotting, qRT-PCR, RNA sequencing, HPLC, FACS, and fluorescence microscopy using specific probes.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Applicants should have prior experience in studying regulated cell death pathways, including apoptosis, autophagy, necroptosis, ferroptosis, or oxeiptosis, and must hold a Master&rsquo;s degree in Biochemistry or a related discipline with at least two years of relevant research experience. Applicants with experience in sphingolipid research would be preferred.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The position provides a dynamic and collaborative research environment working closely with PhD-level scientists, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 The terms of employment are highly competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for dependent children. Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, Transcript, statement of research interests, and two letters of reference in PDF format.
 <br/>
 <br/>
