Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Translational Biomedical Sciences

The Goosens Laboratory, Center for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai 

We are inviting applications for a first year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship position in translational biomedical science. The postdoctoral fellow will be mentored by Dr. Ki Goosens, Associate Professor of Medicine in Psychiatry and Pharmacological Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Manhattan, New York, NY, USA. The Goosens Laboratory is a group that studies how hormones contribute to chronic disease burden in human participants and animal models of disease. This Postdoctoral Research Fellowship position will focus on how hypothalamic and pituitary hormones may contribute to disease in mouse models of Down Syndrome. The Postdoctoral trainee will study multiple organ systems (brain, eye, bone, adipose) and work with other trainees (graduate, undergraduate or high school students) to collect, analyze and interpret data.  The Postdoctoral trainee will receive strong mentorship and be expected to develop and annually re-assess a career development plan to promote independence and successful transition to an independent career in science.

This position is funded through a five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be encouraged to contribute to additional projects in the lab and develop an independent line of research. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also be expected to present their work on a regular basis at local events at Sinai and at conferences.
