Associate Research Scientist

The Sands laboratory is seeking a PhD research scientist for the study of genetic mechanisms of epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disability. Our group uses genetic mouse models and human cellular models to understand the molecular and physiological basis of disease. The lab is translationally focused with the development of novel targeted treatments of these diseases as one of its major goals. Competitive applicants will have completed their PhD and published one or more first author research articles in leading journals. We seek applicants who are especially motivated to take advantage of their careers by combining expertise in neuroanatomy, imaging, or electrophysiology with genetic analysis and disease modeling. The Sands lab exists within a collaborative Center for Translational Research in Neurodevelopmental Disease (CTRND).

Requirements: Candidates should have their PhD in a relevant field and have at least 4 years of postdoctoral experience.

Additional inquiries should be submitted by e-mail to tts27@cumc.columbia.edu. Along with your CV, please include a brief cover letter describing previous work, research interests, and future goals. Please provide contact details for 2 references.
