The Pouchelon Lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is seeking highly motivated candidates for a Postdoctoral Fellow position.

Our lab investigates the nature and nurture mechanisms involved in the development of cortical neural circuits and their alterations in neurodevelopmental disorders. More specifically, we focus on the various neuromodulator cues that neurons in early development are exposed to and their effect on the establishment of excitation/inhibition circuits. To tackle these questions, we use multidisciplinary approaches including genomics, optogenetics, viral strategies, mouse genetics and behavior analysis. The main focus of the research will be to study molecular programs controlling the dynamics of circuit development. https://pouchelonlab.labsites.cshl.edu/

Education: Candidates must hold a PhD degree in Neuroscience, Genomics, Genetics, Bioinformatic or related field.
Skills/Experience: The ideal candidate would have expertise in genomics, genetics or molecular biology, but other background will also be considered. Interested candidates should fill the online application and can also email their CV, cover letter and contact information for three references at pouchel@cshl.edu.
