Postdoctoral Fellow

Postdoctoral Fellow position open in Molecular Neuroscience and Epigenetics at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, MD. The fellow will also have an appointment in Johns Hopkins Medicine. We are seeking a highly motivated and organized individual with experience in routine molecular biology techniques (RT-qPCR, Western Blotting, RNA/DNA extractions) and/or next-generation sequencing of the genome/epigenome (ChIP, CUT&RUN, library preparations, bioinformatic approaches to data analysis). Experience in mouse genetics, behavior, and surgical procedures is also desired, but not required for this role. The ideal candidate will have a passion for mentoring, is highly effective in working collaboratively, and desires to build skills & aid in writing manuscripts. The laboratory uses mouse models to study neural epigenetic mechanisms of early life physical activity underlying neuronal function and cognition, and applies recent tools in molecular epigenetics to answer our research questions. If interested, please send your CV to Dr. Autumn Ivy (ivya@kennedykrieger.org).
