Postdoctoral Research Scientist

The Sands laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral research scientist for the study of genetic mechanisms of epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disability. Our group uses genetic mouse models and human cellular models to understand the molecular and physiological basis of disease. The lab is translationally focused with the development of novel targeted treatments of these diseases as one of its major goals.

Competitive applicants will have completed their PhD and published one or more first author research articles in leading journals. We seek applicants whoe are especially motivated to take advantage of thier careers by combining expertise in neuroanatomy, imaging, or electrophysiology with genetic analysis and disease modeling. The Sands lab exists within a collaborative Center for Translational Research in Neurodevelopmental Disease (CTRND).
