The Tisch Multiple Sclerosis Research Center of New York (Tisch MSRCNY) invites applications for a Principal Investigator position at the Research Associate or Assistant Research Scientist level, depending on experience. We are looking for a passionate scientist to lead an innovative research project focused on utilizing induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived 2D and 3D (organoid) models to explore glial and neuronal phenotypes associated with multiple sclerosis.

What We Offer:

• Fully Funded Position: This role is secured for three years, with the potential for extension.
• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside leading experts in the field and mentor research assistants.
• Cutting-Edge Research: Engage in groundbreaking studies at the intersection of basic and translational MS research.
