Postdoctoral Fellowship: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience of Disease

Postdoctoral Fellowship: Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience of Disease 

Department: Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry; Center for Translational Neuroscience, Carney Institute for Brain Science

Position Description:

The Morrow Lab seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate/fellow with experience in molecular and cellular neuroscience. This position will focus on research involving molecular and cellular mechanisms of neurodevelopmental and/or neurodegenerative disease.

Candidates with a strong training and background in molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, and ideally in vivo neuroscience are desired.

The laboratory PI, Eric Morrow MD PhD, is the Director of the Brown University Center for Translational Neuroscience in the Carney Institute for Brain Science and the Brown Institute for Translational Science.
