About The Position
A postdoctoral fellowship position is available at the BRAINS (Brain, Rejuvenation, Aging, Inflammation, Neurodegeneration, and Stroke) Research Laboratory, the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHSC) at Houston. The BRAINS Research Laboratory is one of the biggest Neuroscience research groups worldwide that consists of seventeen well-established PIs, and we study molecular/genetic mechanisms underlying various CNS disorders, including Cerebrovascular diseases, BBB disruption, Alzheimer's Disease, etc. This multidisciplinary research group provides tremendous training resources to postdoctoral fellows that aim at independent faculty level career development. This position will focus on identifying sex differences in ischemic stroke, cardio-embolism (study of atrial fibrillation) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Multiple techniques will be employed in the study including middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), gonadectomy, telemetry implantation, rodent echocardiogram, ambulatory EKG recording, cognitive behavioral testing, immunohistochemistry. Cutting-edge technologies such as single cell sequencing and proteomics will be utilized along with flow cytometry and MRI imaging. The ideal candidate will be a recent PhD with a strong molecular/genetic, and/or immunology background.
