Faculty Positions
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions
Post Doctoral Fellow- The Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at West Virginia University is seeking for a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in in vivo two-photon (2P) imaging and quantitative data analysis. The candidate must have hands-on experience in both experimental execution and analytical pipelines and be able to contribute immediately to ongoing projects.. Supervisor: Dr. Shahrzad Latifi
Post Doctoral Fellow - The Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute at West Virginia University is currently accepting applications for a Post Doctoral Fellow (Robotics) in the Department of Neuroscience in computational neuroscience/robotics/machine learning. We are looking for outstanding candidates interested in employing cutting-edges technologies, ML, and graph theory-based analytics to understand multiscale brain networks dynamics. The postdoctoral associate can work under a specific project as well as general research involving the applications of ML, robotics, or graph theory in evaluating brain functions in specific disorders such as stroke. Supervisor: Dr. Shahrzad Latifi
Post Doctoral Fellow - The Department of Neuroscience at West Virginia University Research Corporation is currently accepting applications for a Post Doctoral Fellow in Synaptic Molecular Biology and Super-Resolution Imaging who is highly motivated and creative in the ways they investigate the molecular biology of synapses using advanced imaging techniques, including STED super-resolution microscopy. Our research explores the fundamental mechanisms of synapse formation, plasticity, and remodeling, with a focus on how these processes are disrupted in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
A successful candidate will lead a project examining the structural and molecular underpinnings of synaptic remodeling that drive brain plasticity in health and neurodegeneration. This work leverages molecular biology, biochemistry, and cutting-edge imaging methods to uncover how nanoscale synaptic architecture regulates neuronal function. Supervisor: Dr. Martin Hruska
Laboratory Technician/Manager Positions
Research Assistant - The Department of Neuroscience at West Virginia University is looking for highly motivated individuals that have interest in applying STED nanoscopy in combination with molecular biology, CRISPR approaches and mouse models of disease to understand plasticity of excitatory and inhibitory synapses in physiologically relevant paradigms, such as sleep but also during the functional recovery after stroke and in Alzheimer’s disease. Supervisor: Dr. Martin Hruska
Research Assistant - The Department of Neuroscience at West Virginia University is seeking to hire a motivated Laboratory Research Assistant. The successful candidate will support projects related to brain networks dynamics after brain injury. The lab uses several cutting-edge technologies to track and manipulate specific neuronal circuits, including in vivo multi-photon microscopy, optogenetics, and rodent behavioral testing. Supervisor: Dr. Shahrzad Latifi
