Post-doctoral Fellow in Developmental Neuroscience : Washington, DC, United States

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:

Nature. 2014. DOI: 10.1038/nature12880

The postdoc will join a collegial, collaborative and highly productive team studying development and function/dysfunction of the CNS after perinatal brain injury.

Candidates should be highly motivated and focused.

Desired qualifications include: 
- PhD, or equivalent degree in Neuroscience
- Experience in developmental neuroscience (beneficial, but not necessary)

Applicants should submit:
• CV with publications,
• Statement of research interests and experience, and
• Letters from references

These documents should be sent to:
