Description: We are seeking highly motivated and creative scientists to join a dynamic research team exploring fundamental questions about the molecular basis of psychiatric illness, using both basic science and clinical translational approaches. Projects will be data-driven, using a translational approach. We aim to consolidate data generated from human studies (including investigations of postmortem human brain) using mouse models and cell culture. Our projects provide opportunities to become proficient in state-of-the-art techniques such as next generation sequencing, gene editing, behavioral pharmacology and eQTL. For more information please see our website, www.sodhilaboratory.strikingly.com.

Qualifications: Candidates who have graduated with PhD degrees within the last 4 years, with a record of peer-reviewed publications (including at least one first author publication) are encouraged to apply. Expertise in molecular genetics is essential, while experience in neuroanatomy, cell biology and behavioral pharmacology are desirable. Good verbal and written communication skills in English are also essential. The PI and our collegial team of experts will provide mentoring, supervision and intensive training.

To apply: Interested individuals should email a CV/ resume and cover letter including details of research experience and career goals to msodhi@luc.edu. Informal enquiries are welcome. The positions will remain open until filled.
