The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join a neurovascular imaging laboratory led by the Tran Lab. The project focuses on how neural cells communicate with vascular cells within the neurovascular unit to regulate blood flow and match moment-to-moment metabolic demands in the brain. The successful postdoctoral researcher will carry out independent experiments on neurovascular coupling and cerebral blood flow regulation. The work combines delicate s...

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.
