Research Fellow in Developmental Neurobiology and Neuroimmunology

In the Kalish lab, our mission is to use cutting-edge research techniques to understand the early life origins of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disease. Our goal is to build a translational research platform that can take discoveries from the bedside to the bench and back. Through our commitment to collaboration, mentorship, and scientific excellence, we strive to make a lasting impact on the patients we serve. We are recruiting Post-Doctoral Research Fellows to expand our work on several projects: (1) the role of cytokines and chemokines in early neurodevelopment; (2) mechanisms by which maternal gut-immune axis shapes fetal neurodevelopment; (3) neuro-immune adaptation in the female brain during pregnancy. The research will use animal models, advanced spatial biology, mouse behavior, and brain circuit mapping approaches.

• Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in neurobiology, genomics, or immunology.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency in data analysis. Preferred to have familiarity with R, Python, or related scientific programming languages.
• Preferred to have experience with mouse models, molecular biology, neurobiology and/or immunology, including advanced microscopy/imaging, multi-color flow cytometry, stereotaxic brain injections, or genomics.
