Looking for a supportive, dynamic and inclusive environment to do cutting edge science? The Panagiotakos Lab at Mount Sinai has two postdoctoral positions open! Links for both positions below – come join us if you love neural development, ion channels or anything in between! The Panagiotakos Lab, in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, is seeking postdoctoral fellows (recently completed Ph.D., M.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) with expertise in calcium imaging, electrophysiology, developmental neuroscience, stem cell biology, and/or genomics/sequencing approaches to study cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of cell fate during mammalian brain development. Dr. Panagiotakos’ team combines multiple complementary approaches, including genetic mouse models, calcium imaging, fluorescence microscopy, pharmacology, cortical slice cultures, and various omics and biochemical analyses, to interrogate roles for calcium signaling, electrical activity, ion channel splice isoforms, and disease risk genes during normal development and in the context of neuropsychiatric disorders of developmental origin. The qualified candidates will use cutting-edge cellular/molecular biology, imaging and sequencing approaches in these studies, including long-isoform sequencing, CUT&RUN, and live imaging, to investigate the impact and mechanistic underpinnings of disease-relevant ion channels and calcium signaling on cellular events during brain development, including proliferation, migration, neurogenesis and gliogenesis.
