Postdoctoral Fellow, Neurogenetics & iPSC Neural Models

Boston Children's Hospital; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 70,000 - 77,000; Full time

Job summary

Boston Children's Hospital's Winden Lab seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study non-cell autonomous effects in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and related neurogenetic disorders. The project uses human iPSCs to generate 2D and 3D neural models and to investigate molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms.

As a new lab, we offer an open, collaborative environment with opportunities to design studies, prepare manuscripts and grants, and mentor junior members.

Qualifications

• PhD, MD/PhD, or MD with significant research experience.
• Expertise in molecular and cellular neuroscience techniques.
• Experience with human iPSCs and 2D/3D neuronal differentiation.
• Experience in bioinformatics.
• Strong publication and presentation record.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead studies of non-cell autonomous effects in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and related disorders.
• Develop iPSC-derived neural models (2D/3D) to study disease mechanisms.
• Contribute to study design, data interpretation and manuscript preparation.
• Mentor junior lab members and support grant writing.
• Collaborate with the Neurology department and research teams.
