Postdoctoral Research Scientist - In Vivo Imaging
At the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for
Precision Psychiatry & Mental Health, we envision a near future when mental
illness is treated in novel, targeted, and tailored ways, based on a new
understanding of how mental illness develops and persists, unique to each
individual. Our mission is to apply advances in neuroscience, technology and
precision medicine to psychiatry; to create breakthroughs that further our
understanding of the biological causes and underpinnings of mental illness; and
to discover treatments that alleviate suffering from conditions previously
considered untreatable. By addressing biological causes, and identifying
genetic and other biological markers, the SNF Center will eliminate the stigma
of mental illnesses and address societal disparities by ensuring equitable
access to breakthrough Precision Psychiatry treatments.A Postdoctoral Research Scientist position is
available in the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Center for Precision
Psychiatry & Mental Health and the Zuckerman Institute, to study in vivosynaptic, cellular, and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory deficits in
mouse models of neuropsychiatric disorders with the ultimate goal to facilitate
translational efforts and develop new targeted treatments. The successful
candidate will join a leading group of researchers using cutting-edge optical
microscopy (ie., ultrafast, random
access 3-dimensional acousto-optical microscopy with real-time motion
correction) in combination with the latest generation of genetically encoded
voltage, calcium, and neurotransmitter sensors to dissect the organization and
function of hippocampal and cortical circuits during spatial and episodic
learning.Situated in the heart of Manhattan in New York
City, the Zuckerman Institute houses over 50 laboratories employing a broad
range of interdisciplinary and diverse approaches to transform our
understanding of the mind and brain. In this highly collaborative and inclusive
environment, experimental, computational, and theoretical labs work together to
gain critical insights into how the brain develops, performs, endures and
recovers.Duties involve the following tasks:
- Conduct laboratory research
using cutting-edge optical microscopy;
- Design and perform
experiments; collect and analyze data;
- Prepare manuscripts for
publication in peer-reviewed journals;
- Engage in scientific
communication at conferences and training of junior lab members
Qualifications
Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience or
physics/optical engineering, and a strong publication record. Expertise with in
vivo functional imaging is required. Strong background in quantitative analysis
of neuronal recordings and related programming skills (e.g., Python, Matlab),
superior motivation, drive and demonstrated aptitude for carrying out
independent research, as well as experience and interest in training and
mentoring team members, are highly desirable qualifications.Application Instructions
Candidates should submit their application,
including a curriculum vitae, a brief cover letter outlining their research
interests and goals, and the contact information of three individuals who will
provide letters of reference. Informal inquiries are also welcome.This institution is using Interfolio's Faculty
Search to conduct this search. Applicants to this position receive a free
Dossier account and can send all application materials, including confidential
letters of recommendation, free of charge.TITLE THIS POSITION REPORTS TO: Joseph Gogos, Steven Kushner and Attila
