Postdoctoral Position in Developmental Neurobiology and Brain Cancer at Weill Cornell Medicine

An NIH-funded postdoctoral researcher position is available immediately in Dr. Nadia Dahmane laboratory at Cornell University-Weill Cornell Medicine in the Department of Neurological Surgery to study the transcriptional regulation of neuronal differentiation during cerebral cortex development. Our group uses cell biology, mouse genetics, biochemistry, genomic, epigenomics and proteomics approaches to decipher the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling brain development and brain birth defects such as microcephaly. We are also interested in how these developmental mechanisms are involved in pediatric brain tumors.

We seek enthusiastic, highly qualified and motivated individuals to join our research group. The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. degree with a strong background in molecular biology, cell biology, and/or biochemistry. Research experience in developmental neuroscience, cancer biology, epigenetics and mouse genetics would be considered advantageous.

Our laboratory is part of the Children’s Brain Tumor Project (https://www.childrensbraintumorproject.org/ ) and is located on the Weill Cornell Medicine campus in New York City.
