Post-Doctoral Research Fellow

Position Overview: A self-motivated Post-Doctoral Research Fellow is sought to join a laboratory specializing in psychiatric genetics, focusing on neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorder models using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), brain organoids, and advanced genomic techniques. Key Responsibilities Lead and contribute to NIH-funded projects involving iPSC neural modeling, single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and electrophysiological analyses.Develop brain organoid models carrying disease risk alleles to investigate molecular and cellular phenotypes.Prepare scientific manuscripts and proposals for funding opportunities.Identify and troubleshoot experimental issues, ensuring compliance with research regulations and IRB guidelines.Assist with research application submissions, progress reports, and project documentation. Qualifications & Skills PhD or MD in a science-related field.Background in Molecular/Cellular Biology, Neuroscience, or Functional Genomics preferred.Experience with neuroscience research, especially iPSC culture and organoid differentiation, is advantageous.Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently under supervision. Additional Information: The role offers opportunities for professional growth, collaborative research, and benefits including health options, tuition reimbursement, retirement plans, and paid time off. The position is full-time, onsite, and benefits-eligible, supporting a vibrant research environment dedicated to advancing understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.
