Position description

An exciting opportunity for a NIH funded position(s) available to apply single-cell approaches (transcriptomics, MerFISH, etc) in specific target cell populations (e.g., CRH expressing neurons) for studying mechanisms by which early life experiences / stress promote enduring disruptions of cell, circuit and behavioral functions. (some research examples below)
