About this position
The Nguyen Lab in the Department of Neuroscience and the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at The University of Texas at Dallas is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for NIH-funded research on the molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy.
The lab is a basic and translational neuroscience research environment focused on brain development and the dysregulation of intracellular signaling pathways in neurodevelopmental disorders, including malformations of cortical development and epilepsy. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct original and independent research related to assigned projects under the guidance of the principal investigator.
Research activities may involve in vivo mouse models, mouse surgery, behavioral procedures, animal handling and colony management, histology, biochemical assays, Western blotting, RT-qPCR, electrophysiology, rodent EEG recordings, experimental seizure models, and computational analysis. The researcher will design and analyze experiments, prepare manuscripts, publish findings, present work at conferences and workshops, contribute to collaborative projects, and train or supervise students and junior laboratory members.
The position offers opportunities to apply for independent funding, attend scientific conferences, and network with academics. The PI provides mentoring aimed at supporting postdoctoral associates in pursuing careers in academia or industry.
