Description
A staff scientist position is available in John Ngai's laboratory in the Molecular Neurobiology Section at the National Institutes of Health. The focus of this position is to oversee studies focused on understanding the genetic, epigenetic, and cell-signaling pathways underlying neural development and adult stem cell-mediated regeneration using the mouse peripheral olfactory system as the primary model. These studies will use a combination of approaches including single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses, mouse transgenic and other genetic approaches, viral transduction, immunohistochemistry, multiplexed RNA in situ hybridization, and confocal and other advanced light microscopy techniques. Our long-term goal is to elucidate the molecular determinants regulating the progression of cells in a developmental or regenerating pathway during the construction or repair of neural circuits.
At NIH, the staff scientist is a central member of research teams, who typically runs the scientific and teaching aspects of a Principal Investigator's research program. He/she would provide direct supervision for two or three students and/or postdocs. Together with the PI, he/she would steer the long-term direction of the research group. The opportunity also exists for the Staff Scientist to conduct his/her own studies in the above research area.
The successful candidate will be offered salary and benefits commensurate with experience and accomplishments. The appointment would be through the Title 42 mechanism - http://hr.od.nih.gov/benefits/pay/default.htm.
