Investigate the mechanisms that drive chronic inflammation after ischemic stroke. The successful candidate will study human post-stroke neuroimmunologyusing cutting-edge approaches, with a particular emphasis on imaging masscytometry and transcriptomic analysis of human brain tissue. We are seeking ahighly motivated and intellectually curious scientist who is passionate ab outperforming creative, rigorous, and mechanistically driven research. The ideal candidate will have strong critical-thinking and quantitative skills, work effectively in a collaborative research environment, and communicate clearly through both scientific writing and presentation.

Candidates should be eager todevelop expertise in stroke immunology and to apply state-of-the-art spatial,cellular, and molecular approaches to understand how immune responses contribute to chronic brain injury and recovery after stroke.
