The lab also emphasizes the translation of findings from rodents into clinical practice.

Requirements are:
  • Doctorate in neuroscience, psychology, biology, or related field.
  • 3-5 years of experience/exposure and a commitment to research.
  • Candidates are expected to have advanced written and oral communication skills.
