The Center of Excellence for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is offering several Postdoctoral positions.

1) Postdoctoral Fellow in Neuroscience

• Prior experience in animal experiments involving stereotactic surgeries.

• Ability in establishing optogenetics and chemogenetics in mice and using these techniques to explore mechanisms of normal or pathological nervous system circuits.

• Setting up electrophysiology assays and conducting experiments to evaluate mechanisms or efficacy of these assays.

2) Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Biology

• The individual should be proficient in both in vitro and in vivo techniques, including cell culture, Western blotting, DNA/RNA isolation, ELISA, qPCR, and genotyping.
