The Zeldich laboratory ( https://www.bumc.bu.edu/anatneuro/ella-zeldich-lab/ ) in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at Boston University School of Medicine is looking for an energetic and highly motivated molecular and cellular biologist or stem cell biologist to join our team. Research in the laboratory aims to understand the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms mediating brain cell abnormalities in Down Syndrome (DS) and the development of Alzheimer’s pathology in individuals with DS. We use human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), 2D and 3D in vitro models, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, single-cell transcriptomics, multiome profiling, and pharmacological and biochemical approaches.

The candidate will join a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research team that includes computational geneticists, neuroscientists, and electrophysiologists in the department as well as within the BU School of Medicine.

Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Pharmacology, or related disciplines is required. Those with a strong background in molecular neuroscience and stem cell biology are encouraged to apply.

Experience with some of the following is expected:

• Cell culture and iPS cells
• Molecular biology, CRISPR/Cas9 or Cas13 genome editing
• Immunohistochemistry
• Confocal microscopy
