Principal Investigator, Costas Anastassiou, PhD is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!
The Anastassiou Laboratory studies how the molecular and cellular composition of neurons translates to their phenotype and how these properties combine in brain circuits to produce function or, in the case of disease, dysfunction.
The Anastassiou Lab has a broad background in multimodal cellular data (electrophysiology, anatomy, transcriptomics) and the development of state-of-the-art computational workflows (statistical learning, optimization and simulation) to understand cellular activity in behavior and disease. Uniquely, this work includes human brain tissue, both as a byproduct from surgery as well as from model systems such as human pluripotent stem cells. The Anastassiou Lab successfully pursues collaborations with clinicians to translate cellular and circuit findings to gain a better understanding of diseases such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, as well as development of improved therapies.
Do you have a passion for helping human kind?
As a Clinical Research Coordinator I, you will work independently providing study coordination including screening of potential research participants for protocol eligibility, presenting non-medical trial concepts and details, and participating in the informed consent process. Responsible for accurate and timely source documents, data collection, documentation, entry, and reporting including timely response to sponsor queries. You will also be responsible for compiling and reporting on each study including information related to protocol activity, accrual data, workload, and other research information. You will present this information at regular research staff meetings. You will ensure compliance with all federal and local agencies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and local Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Working under direct supervision, the Research Associate III performs routine and increasingly complex laboratory tasks and procedures and develops technical expertise in one or more areas relevant to research projects. The incumbent will participate in research activities involving all aspects of the research process, to include, but not limited to; development design, investigation, technical, testing/validation of results, and report findings (including developing independent presentations). The Research Associate III will perform a variety of routine experimental protocols and procedures to support the objectives of laboratory research projects. The incumbent will observe and comply with safety standards and procedures, assist in preparation of data for publication and/or presentation at scholarly meetings, and assist in general laboratory maintenance. This position does not have supervisory responsibilities.
Principal Investigator, Ueli Rutishauser, PhD is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!
Under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Ueli Rutishauser in the Department of Neurosurgery and the Center for Neural Science and Medicine, and working closely with other postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, undergraduate students, research associates, and collaborators, the postdoctoral fellow will be engaged in cutting-edge research with the goal of developing a mechanistic understanding of human cognition. The incumbent will participate in systems neuroscience research throughout the training period by using intracranial recordings in humans and/or sophisticated computational and analysis methods to study the mechanisms of learning, memory, and decision making. The Postdoctoral Scientist analyzes and interprets data or conducts computational modelling, may assist in preparation of grant proposals, and participates in publications and presentations as author or co-author. This position is an outstanding opportunity to receive training in an innovative NSF/NIH funded research program.
Principal Investigator, Tao Sun, PhD, is seeking a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!
The primary focus of the Sun Laboratory is in developing an immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of solid tumors (such as brain cancer) where current immunotherapies have seen little success.
Leading-edge care begins with research!
As a team member working with Principal Investigators, Research Coordinators and other research staff, the Research Grant Specialist II will complete and submit federal, industry, and non-federal clinical trial and basic science grant applications and serves as the liaison between department or research groups and sponsored research funds administration, accounting, and finance departments. The incumbent will work with the department Research Manager, Executive Director, Chairperson, and research faculty members to provide deficit resolution on internal and extramural research projects. Specifically, this position creates clinical trial (primary) and basic science budgets and works with research coordinators on post-award management (invoicing, monthly reporting, cost transfers, project closeouts), creates research staffing models, and projections and meets monthly with research programs to review research portfolios.
Research in the Yu Laboratory is focused on immunotherapy for brain tumors, the cancer stem cell and its microenvironment in brain tumors, cancer stem cell–specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, cancer stem cell signaling, the mechanism of cancer invasion, and targeted immunochemotherapy using nanotechnology.
