The position is focused on studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental impairment following opioids/hypoxia exposure. These studies will include human and mouse models and will use a wide range of techniques (electrophysiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, microscopy, RNA-seq, data mining).

Applicants must have a PhD in the field of biology or neuroscience, with prior work experience in human induced pluripotent stem cells and brain organoids culture. An electrophysiology background is highly encouraged.

In addition to research, the position requires publication of research results, presentation at conferences, participation in group meetings, and grant writing.

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and based on University of California pay scales.
