纽约西奈山医学院（Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai）吴争实验室诚聘博士后研究员
入选研究员将在导师指导下，独立开展课题研究小鼠认知行为的神经机制。申请人应当刚刚或即将获得神经科学、生物医学工程或其他相关专业的博士学位，并具备优秀的英文写作和交流能力。我们特别欢迎具有系统神经科学背景、尤其是在体钙成像和神经元群体动态分析经历的申请人。课题组将提供极具竞争力的薪酬、医疗保险、学校公寓、带薪年假等福利。
吴争是哈佛大学神经科学博士，期间师从美国科学院院士、霍华德修斯医学研究所研究员Catherine Dulac。博士后任职于哥伦比亚大学脑科学研究所，与诺贝尔奖得主Richard Axel和决策领域研究的主要奠基人之一Michael Shadlen共事。他的研究发现了哺乳动物中控制亲子行为的关键神经元，开创了在细胞层面对亲子行为神经环路的剖析，揭示了下丘脑神经元在社会行为中的核心作用。他也在小鼠中发展了一项复杂的决策任务，通过系统神经生物学和建模等手段，发现过去被认为主要负责规划和执行运动的运动皮层，也编码感知信息并主动参与到灵活决策中。他的研究成果发表于Nature, Science, Cell 和Neuron 等国际知名学术期刊，并获得2023年斯隆研究奖（Sloan Research Fellowship）。
西奈山医学院坐落于纽约市曼哈顿上东区，于1968年成立，与位于纽约的8家西奈山医院一起构成了全美最大、历史最悠久的医疗系统之一。西奈山医学院以神经科学、免疫学及基因组学等学科的研究见长，1969年研发了第一款基因重组的疫苗（genetically engineered vaccine），1977年第一次完成了对流感病毒的测序，2004年发现了第一个自闭症的常见遗传变异。根据最新US News评比，西奈山医学院综合研究水平全美排名第11，神经科学研究全球排名第25。
请应聘者将求职信、简历以及三位推荐人的个人信息历发送给吴争（zheng.wu@mssm.edu），谢谢你对我们实验室研究的兴趣。欢迎访问我们的网站以了解更多信息： https://www.wulab.bio
The laboratory of Dr. Herbert Zheng Wu in the Department of Neuroscience at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has an exciting opportunity for a motivated Postdoctoral Fellowto join our team. The postdoctoral fellow will lead independent projects to investigate the neurobiology of cognition in mice.
The Wu Laboratory is interested in understanding how molecularly defined neuronal populations contribute to cognition and behavior. To understand these questions, we will apply a variety of modern methodologies including large-scale calcium imaging, single-cell omics, in vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics, quantitative behavioral analysis, and computational modeling.
We are looking for a candidate who is highly motivated, critical, and inquisitive and has excellent communication skills. The candidate should have a recent Ph.D. or M.D/Ph.D. in a relevant field including neuroscience, biology, psychology, biomedical engineering, and computer science. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in calcium imaging and quantitative analysis of large-scale neural data.
You can expect the PI to have a sincere interest in your work and support you at every stage of your career. We will help you realize your potential, do meaningful and fun science with the team, and develop a vision as an independent scientist. You will join a vibrant neuroscience community at Mount Sinai and will have opportunities to interact with a broad network of neuroscientists in the New York City. We will provide a competitive salary as well as housing and health benefits.
To apply, please send a cover letter, your CV, and the contact information of three referees to zheng.wu@mssm.edu. Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Please visit our website to learn more about us: https://www.wulab.bio
