- ** Job Description Summary
** Seeking an individual, preferably with microsurgical experience for a position in neuroimmunology for projects that encompasses basic and translational research. Work in the laboratory is centered around the complement system and neuroinflammatory mechanisms. Ongoing projects involve investigating acute and chronic neuroimmune responses occurring after stroke or after different types of traumatic brain injury, including the long-term neurodegenerative sequalae of injury.

For this position, work will be focused on mouse models of stroke and traumatic brain injury the. Ideally, the candidate will have experience with the murine middle cerebral artery occlusion model, although training can be provided. Other aspects of the project will include high resolution and confocal microscopy, cellular and molecular immune profile analysis, therapeutic evaluation of drugs, and detailed assessments of motor and cognitive functions.

The laboratory is also developing novel transgenic animals for mechanistic studies, and is involved in the development (and commercialization) of novel therapeutic approaches.
