Post Doctoral.Post Doctoral.Associate

The Huang Lab (https://www.huangneurolab.org/) at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Neurological Surgery is accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Associate with an interest in noninvasive neuro control and monitoring. We develop cutting-edge, noninvasive molecular tools to control and monitor endogenous processes in intact cells and tissues, aiming to deepen our understanding of brain function in both health and disease. By combining therapeutic ultrasound, protein engineering, and pharmacology, we achieve noninvasive, spatiotemporal, and molecularly precise control and monitoring of endogenous molecules in their natural environment. Our work aspires to establish new paradigms in neuroscience and advance therapies for brain disorders.

Successful candidates will join a vibrant, diverse, and collaborative department ranked in the top 15 nationally within a top 3 NIH-funded university, offering excellent opportunities for career development.
