Position Description: A postdoctoral fellow position is available for a project led by Dr. Ishibashi through the Center for Neuroscience Research at Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC. The laboratory carries out basic and translational research using animal models to investigate the impact of Perinatal Injury on Fetal and Neonatal Brain Development.
The full-time research fellow will work on our collaborative and innovative studies. Tools for state-of-the-art imaging together with cutting edge cellular/molecular analyses are available including gene expression profiling, in utero electroporation, patch clamp electrophysiology, laser scanning microscopy and cognitive behavioral testing. In addition to techniques utilized in the Haydar lab and Ishibashi lab, there are opportunities to collaborate and learn various techniques used by other investigators at the Center for Neuroscience Research. The Center is a highly collaborative environment and offers outstanding core facilities in microscopy/imaging, genomics/bioinformatics and animal behavior.
Please learn more about our collaborative research and preclinical animal models through our website:
The postdoc will join a collegial, collaborative and highly productive team studying development and function/dysfunction of the CNS after perinatal brain injury.
