Description du poste

Postdoc in the Winden Lab at Bostn Children's Hospital

Then Winden Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital is focused on genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. We use human induced pluripotent stem cells from patients with these genetic disorders to generate 2D and 3D neural models to study the underlying molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms of the disorder. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to lead our studies of non-cell autonomous effects in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, as well as other emerging neurogenetic disorders.

As a new lab, we are committed to developing an open and collaborative environment to perform cutting-edge science. You will have opportunities to contribute to the design and direction of studies, prepare manuscripts and grants, and mentor junior lab members at many stages. Boston Children's Hospital is a global leader in pediatric healthcare, and the Department of Neurology is the largest Child Neurology department in the country. Affiliated with Harvard Medical School, we provide an unparalleled environment for scientific advancement, fostering collaboration and innovation in pursuit of improving children's health worldwide.

Qualifications

• PhD, MD/PhD, or MD with significant research experience
• Expertise in molecular and cellular neuroscience techniques
• Experience with human induced pluripotent stem cells and 2D and 3D neuronal differentiation
• Experience in bioinformatics
• Strong track record of prior publications and presentations
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
