Summary

A Postdoctoral position is neuroimmunology is in the Department of Neuroscience. The mission of the group is to discover brain cell interface molecules to enable circuit repair. To achieve this mission, the lab leverages integrative cellular and molecular neuroscience technologies to uncover molecules that tune neural outcomes. 

For this position, the lab is seeking a postdoc who will work to discover how neurons and microglia interact to drive neural disease outcomes in mouse models. The Postdoc will learn and apply cutting edge tools that includes proteomics, transcriptomics, circuit mapping, 2P imaging, and nanoscopic imaging to understand how disruptions in neural-microglia signaling contributes to the disease.  They have a dynamic group that offers an engaging work environment.
