Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Psychiatric Genetics

Role Overview: A self-motivated Post-Doc Research Fellow is sought to join a lab focused on psychiatric genetics, utilizing patient-specific iPSC-derived neurons and brain organoids to study neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Key Responsibilities Lead and support NIH-funded research projects, particularly developing brain organoid models with disease risk alleles.Work independently under supervision, employing techniques such as iPSC neural modeling, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and electrophysiological analyses.Prepare scientific manuscripts and develop proposals for fellowships.Identify experimental problems, troubleshoot, and ensure compliance with research regulations and guidelines.Assist in submitting research applications, progress reports, and ensuring data integrity. Qualifications PhD or MD in a science field.Experience in Molecular/Cellular Biology, Neuroscience, or Functional Genomics preferred, especially with iPSC culture and organoid differentiation.Excellent communication skills. Key Skills Research independence and problem-solving abilities.Strong background in neurobiology techniques and genomic analyses.
