The Pitt laboratory is seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our team. We conduct translational research focused on understanding the mechanisms that underlie progression/neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We are using cutting-edge technologies such as multiomic single nucleus profiling, highly multiplexed histological imaging of brain tissue sections, and computational tools for spatial analysis. The PI is a co-director of the National MS Brain Bank, and the laboratory is embedded in a highly collaborative, translational neuroimmunology program that includes genetics and computational biology.
The successful candidate will drive a larger effort to produce and integrate spatial proteomic and single cell multiomic datasets of MS lesion in order to determine the distribution of cellular subpopulations within lesion tissue, and to define their spatial and functional interactions.
Applicants should have deep expertise in CNS histology, a broad neurobiology background and experience with computational tools such as Squidpy and R for analysis of spatial molecular data. The candidate will join the Department of Neurology for a minimum of 2 years. To apply, please send your CV, a short description of the relevant expertise, representative publications, and the names of three references via email to [email protected].
