About this role

Function/Duties of Position

The Department of Pediatrics is looking for a senior Postdoctoral Scholar to join Dr. Juan Piantino’s lab within the Papé Family Pediatric Research Institute, Neuroscience Section. Our research focuses on the biological mechanisms linking sleep disturbances to cognitive function and recovery from brain injury in humans. Specifically, we focus on the glymphatic pathway as a mediator between poor sleep and recovery from concussion in young individuals. Our lab has pioneered the use of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques to assess glymphatic function in humans, in healthy conditions and following traumatic brain injury. We currently have funding from the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense to conduct large longitudinal studies on sleep and concussion in young adults.

 

The person joining the lab will be tasked with analyzing biomarker data and disseminating our findings via publications and presentations at scientific meetings. The candidate will also be tasked with supervising a team of research assistants, biostatisticians, imaging analysts, and lab personnel. Prior experience leading a research team is preferred but not mandatory.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD in Neuroscience or related field.
  • Experience collecting and analyzing biomarker data.
  • Background in biomarkers, neuroimaging, traumatic brain injuries, and sleep.
  • Strong independent writing and speaking skills.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Proficiency in statistical software packages (e.g., Stata) and neuroimaging software (e.g., FreeSurfer).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Management skills: the candidate has led a scientific team in the past.
  • Understanding of biostatistical models applied to longitudinal data analysis.
