About this position
Weill Cornell Medicine is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate in Pediatric Neurology in Dr. Juan M. Pascual’s lab. The project is NIH-funded and focuses on how a novel mutation in the DNA repair gene Rif1 produces supernormal motor performance in mice. The research uses in vivo single-unit recordings and local field potential (LFP) recordings in anesthetized and freely moving mice to study how altered Purkinje cell firing contributes to enhanced motor learning and post-stroke motor recovery.
The position is based at the Lasdon Biomedical Research Building, 1300 York Avenue, New York, NY 10065. It is a postdoctoral opening, not a PhD or master’s call. The appointment term is 1 year with annual reappointment review. The salary listed is $75,812 per year, and the post mentions standard employee benefits. Visa support may include J-1 and H-1B options.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in neuroscience, physiology, or a closely related field. Required experience includes electrode array implantation, chronic recording in freely moving mice, independent work after initial training, and careful documentation suitable for reproducibility and publication. Two recommendation letters are required, including one from the doctoral advisor or most recent research supervisor. Preferred experience includes cerebellar single-unit and LFP recordings, cerebellar circuit physiology, motor control circuits, signal processing, and spike sorting.
To apply, prepare a CV and two letters of recommendation and email them to [email protected]. The post does not list a deadline.
