Postdoctoral Scholar - Research Associate

Overview

The USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute and Laboratory of Neuro Imaging (INI,(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) are world leaders in the development of advanced computational and scientific approaches for brain mapping. LONI’s multidisciplinary environment integrates clinical, psychological and genotypic information with neuroimaging phenotypes for research in neurology, psychiatry and developmental neurobiology. The Bienkowski Lab focuses on understanding the multiscale organization of the brain in health and disease, using 3D microscopy imaging and spatial transcriptomics to investigate neuronal cell types in rodent and human brain tissue.

The goal is to develop innovative tools and resources to translate laboratory research into applied clinical treatments.

• Perform MERFISH spatial transcriptomics experiments using the lab’s MERSCOPE platform in mouse and post-mortem human tissue samples.
• Investigate characteristics of neuronal cell types and how they are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.
• Analyze single-cell transcriptomic datasets and develop new spatial transcriptomics approaches for research.

• Minimum Education:
  
  PhD
• Field of Expertise: transcriptomics, brain cell types, Alzheimer’s disease
• Skills:
  
  Analysis/evaluation, written and oral communication, organization and planning, project management, research, strong computer/software skills

Base pay range: $62,400/yr - $67,000/yr. This position is partially supported by NIH-funded T32 postdoctoral training fellowship (T32 AG058507).
