JOIN US!!!Self driven? Passionate about neuronal development? Interested in understanding the mechanisms that drive brain development? Come work with us! |
Postdoctoral Fellows:
Candidates should hold a PhD in broadly defined biological areas (i.e. cell biology, molecular biology, computational biology, neuroscience). Competitive candidates will have a strong background in neuroscience with interest in cortical development and disease modeling. The ideal candidate will have extensive molecular biology expertise including CRISPR/CAS genome editing, cloning, DNA and RNA isolation, ChipSeq, and QPCR techniques. Experience with mammalian cell cultures (i.e. neuronal or stem cell cultures or primary neuronal cultures) is highly desired. Experience with bioinformatics analysis is also highly desired.
Graduate Students:
The Lizarraga Lab is looking for graduate students to join our dynamic research group focusing on chromatin regulatory mechanisms and all things epigenetics relating to neurodevelopment! Students may join through the MCBGP or the NSGP.
Research Assistant:
The Lizarraga lab is looking for a full time research assistant to support ongoing projects in the lab. The RA will assist with conducting experiments to examine the cellular processes by which specific genetic variants modify neurodevelopmental phenotypes associated with Autism spectrum disorders by carrying out specific experiments that involve maintenance of stem cells, neuronal differentiation of human stem cells, immunohistochemistry, imaging, molecular techniques and biochemical assays. A bachelor's degree is required. Experience with cell culture, CRISPR gene editing, and other molecular techniques is preferred. A strong knowledge of developmental or cellular neuroscience, biochemistry, and stem cell biology are preferred. Apply here!
