The Cheadle Lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is inviting applications from highly motivated candidates for a postdoctoral position investigating interactions between neurons and non-neuronal cells (microglia and oligodendrocyte precursor cells [OPCs]) in the developing brain. We employ a multidisciplinary strategy to study these interactions that merges two-photon imaging in the brains of awake mice, single-cell genomics, and standard molecular and cell biological approaches. We seek an enthusiastic and independent lab member to lead a high-impact project focused on defining the mechanisms underlying glial cell function in mouse and human brains. Candidates from marginalized and/or excluded backgrounds, broadly defined, are strongly encouraged to apply.  Environment
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is a world-renowned biomedical research institution in New York. It has shaped contemporary biomedical research and is the home of eight Nobel Prize laureates. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory provides a highly dynamic and interactive research environment and also a unique opportunity of timely exposure to advances in various biomedical research fields and of interaction with a broad range of researchers from all over the world through its renowned Meetings and Courses program.
We believe that science is for everyone. We have had researchers with a variety of backgrounds and believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Applicants should have a PhD in neuroscience, genetics, developmental biology, or a related field.
