About this position
The University of Nevada, Reno is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in Physiology to join research on how blood flow is regulated in the brain and retina in health and disease. The project spans neurovascular signaling and disease-focused questions relevant to Alzheimer’s disease, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain tumor–vascular interactions.
The successful fellow will lead in vivo and ex vivo studies using advanced physiological and imaging approaches. The work includes cranial window preparations, two-photon and confocal imaging, capillary blood-flow measurements, targeted pharmacological and optical stimulation, electrophysiology, transgenic mouse models, ex vivo vascular preparations, and molecular methods.
In addition to running experiments, the scholar will contribute to the full research pipeline: generating hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing and interpreting data, and preparing manuscripts. The role also emphasizes professional growth, with opportunities to develop independent research directions, contribute to grant proposals, and mentor graduate and undergraduate trainees in a collaborative research environment at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine.
The position is based at a large R1 public research university in Reno, Nevada, with strong institutional investment in research infrastructure and a medical school setting that supports translational and interdisciplinary science.

What's required
Applicants must hold a PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in Physiology, Neuroscience, Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field. Candidates must have research experience in an animal model system and a record of productive, independent laboratory work. The doctoral degree must have been completed within the five years immediately preceding the first date of appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at the University, and applicants cannot have held previous positions in the professional ranks. Preferred preparation includes rodent surgery, in vivo imaging or recording, live-animal physiological measurement, fluorescence or confocal imaging, two-photon microscopy, electrophysiology, ex vivo tissue or vascular preparations, transgenic mouse models, molecular biology, or quantitative image and data analysis. Strong scientific writing and communication skills are preferred, along with interest in independent research, extramural funding, and mentoring junior trainees.
