美国华盛顿儿童国家卫生系统神经科学研究中心博士后职位

A funded postdoctoral fellow position is available for a collaborative project led by Dr. Gallo and Dr. Ishibashi through the Center for Neuroscience Research at Children’s National Health System ( CNHS ) in Washington DC. The laboratory carries out basic and translational research using novel animal models to investigate the impact of Chronic Hypoxia on Fetal and Neonatal Brain Development. 

** 

The full-time research fellow will work on our collaborative and innovative studies. Tools for state-of-the-art imaging, together with cutting edge cellular/molecular analyses such as in vivo electrophysiology and optogenetics, are available to address clinically relevant questions in neurodevelopment using preclinical animal model. In addition to techniques utilized in the Gallo lab and Ishibashi lab, there are opportunities to collaborate and learn various techniques utilized by other investigators at the Center for Neuroscience Research, including in vivo Ca2+ imaging, behavioral profiling, in vitro physiology, and single cell sequencing. The Center for Neuroscience Research is a highly collaborative environment and offers outstanding core facilities in microscopy/imaging, genomics/bioinformatics and animal behavior. 

Please learn more about our collaborative research and preclinical animal models through our website:
