Job description

Description
Case Western Reserve University, Department of Neurosciences is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a postdoctoral scholar position. This is a one-year appointment with the possibility of renewing for an additional year.
Research aims at identifying neural circuitry involved in specific behavioral tasks in rodent models, determining neural computation underlying behavior and decision, and dissecting circuit components underlying computation. The lab employs a combination of methodologies including molecular genetics, virus-based circuit tracing, single and multi-photon imaging, electrophysiology, chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulation, and behavioral assays.
The Postdoctoral scholar will design and carry out research projects, manage research projects and model organisms, and provide scientific oversight and guidance to junior lab members in the absence of the principal investigator (PI). The Postdoctoral scholar will keep the PI informed of the progress of research projects and provide recommendations on experimental design and project plans, and independently prepare manuscripts. It is expected that the Postdoctoral scholar will apply for grant funding as a Principal Investigator in this area of interest and maintain independent research through submission of subsequent grant applications as needed. The candidate will also establish and participate in collaboration with other Principal Investigators within and external to CWRU.
Responsibilities and Duties:
  1. Independently and with the principal investigator, design, plan, and execute research projects with the aim of elucidating mechanisms of neural mechanisms of behavior, utilizing modern neuroscience tools. Conduct in vivo studies using rodent models, design, test and refine behavioral assays to probe brain function, apply viral vector-based approaches (e.g., AAV, lentivirus) for gene delivery and tracing neural circuit, perform survival and terminal surgeries, utilize optogenetic and chemogenetic approaches to manipulate neuronal activity, perform single- or multi-photon imaging, as well as electrophysiological recordings in behaving animals. Maintain accurate records of data and provide findings and recommendations to the PI based on analysis. 40%
  2. Provide scientific oversight of all research projects, including data collection and maintenance. Establish and manage the day-to-day priorities of the research staff when needed. 10%
  3. Write and apply for grants with the PI and as Independent PI. Submit subsequent grant applications as needed to maintain independent research and funding. 10%
  4. Independently author research papers. Assemble data and make publication-quality figures from analyzed data. With the highest level of integrity and responsible conduct of research, participate in writing manuscripts as a first author or co-author for discoveries from research performed in the lab, together with the PI and other lab members. 10%
  5. Develop new techniques and protocols to advance research projects within the lab. Train lab members on new techniques. 5%
  6. Coordinate experiments performed by other lab members, ensuring adequate resources, assisting with experimental design and analysis. Oversee progress of the research projects and provide regular progress reports to the PI; and provide input and recommendation to principal investigator regarding significant developments in research projects. Ensure the PI is informed about the results of lab members and ensure the PI's experimental strategy is explored by lab members and through independent experiments by the Research Scholar. 5%
  7. Mentor and train lab staff and graduate students; oversee research work and ensure projects are being completed according to the research plan. This will involve teaching other members of the lab techniques and scientific discovery methods, including students and post-docs. Assist and teach both established and new research techniques to other lab members to facilitate their experiments. Coordinate training for lab members with the EHS and others, as needed. 5%
  8. With the principal investigator, establish goals and objectives for the efficient and timely completion of projects. Meet regularly with the principal investigator to review and set priorities, staff/student-related issues, and future research staff and planning 5%
  9. Operate and maintain laboratory equipment such as confocal microscopy systems, stereotaxic apparatus and high-speed imaging systems for functional and behavioral analysis. Assist other lab members with general lab maintenance and help oversee and maintain inventory of scientific reagents. 3%
  10. Present data and findings at laboratory meetings and scientific meetings, seminars, etc. Prepare manuscripts and contribute preliminary data for grant proposals. 3%
  11. Supervise research assistants and technicians. Supervise the research and technical work performed by other lab members, ensuring proper lab procedures are followed, and their safety, and ensuring adequate resources are provided for lab work. 2%
  12. Assess, update, and develop new standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the lab. 2%

In compliance with the City of Cleveland's Pay Transparency Ordinance (effective October 27, 2025), the annual starting base salary range for this position is $55,000 - $63,480. CWRU considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer. Postdocs receive individual and family healthcare benefits, life insurance, and employee assistance.
