Postdoctoral Research Fellow

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join our interdisciplinary team developing cutting-edge preclinical and clinical technologies to quantify and therapeutically modulate synaptic stability and plasticity in the brain. This position offers a unique opportunity to bridge basic neuroscience with translational applications, leveraging advanced tools in transcranial focused ultrasound, neuroimaging, and biopharmaceuticals to drive innovation in brain disorder therapeutics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and execute experiments to investigate synaptic plasticity, stability, and dysfunction in preclinical and/or clinical models.
• Develop and optimize transcranialfocused ultrasound, neuroimaging (MRI/immuno-PET), and immunohistochemistry  for image-guided modulation of synaptic plasticity in targeted neural circuits.
• Data analysis (with Python, MATLAB, or similar) to analyze neuroimaging datasets.
• Collaborate with clinicians, engineers, and computational neuroscientists to translate findings into novel therapeutic strategies.
• Publish high-impact research and present findings at international conferences.

Why Join Us?

• Work with a highly interdisciplinary team with a scholarly, collaborative, and rigorous lab culture with access to state-of-the-art facilities.
• Live in a vibrant city (SF) with beautiful nature and weather.
• Contribute to high-impact research with very exceptionally strong potential for clinical translation.
• Help advance  neural circuit therapeutics that could lead to the first disease-modifying treatments for psychiatric illness like autism, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and addiction.
• Strong emphasis on career development, grant writing, and mentorship.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
