Research Fellow - Neuroscience

Role And Responsibilities

A Postdoctoral Fellow conducts independent research in neurodegeneration and sleep pathology, analyzing large-scale molecular datasets such as single-cell, spatial transcriptomic, and proteomic data from human brain tissue. They develop projects focused on neural circuits, sleep, circadian dysfunction, and disease mechanisms, integrating molecular findings with neuroanatomical, neuropathological, and clinical phenotypes. The fellow explores neuronal vulnerability and resilience, translating molecular patterns into biological insights, and employs computational tools to identify meaningful data patterns. They lead scientific publications, contribute to grant applications, present findings, and collaborate across disciplines, mentoring junior team members.

Qualifications And Skills

• PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent in neuroscience, neurobiology, or related fields.
• Strong foundation in neuroscience and experience in independent research.
• Familiarity with large-scale omics datasets and computational analysis.
• Ability to interpret complex data within biological and anatomical contexts.
• Excellent scientific communication and collaboration skills.
  
  

Key Duties

• Design and lead biologically driven research projects.
• Analyze and interpret molecular datasets, integrating findings with phenotypic data.
• Develop hypotheses and select analytical strategies, communicating results effectively.
• Contribute to scientific publications, presentations, and grant proposals.
• Mentor junior researchers and foster collaborative efforts across disciplines.
