Postdoctoral Fellow

The medial pulvinar affords the delayed maturation of the prefrontal cortex We are seeking a passionate and driven researcher to lead an exciting project focused on how molecular changes in the circuitry of the medial pulvinar—an area linked to neurodevelopmental disorders—shape plasticity and typical development in the frontal, parietal, and temporal regions of the brain. This position is ideal for someone skilled in various molecular and cellular techniques, with the ability to adapt these methodologies to both non-human primate (NHP) and human tissues. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, capable of independently evolving new techniques, and comfortable working within a multidisciplinary team. Preference will be given to candidates with a broad skill set and relevant experience in neurobiology.
