Assistant research scientist

The Miura Laboratory in the Department of Molecular Pathobiology, Division of Biomaterials & Regenerative Biology at New York University (NYU) College of Dentistry, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to join our research team.

Our research group investigates the fundamental principles of multicellular assembly in the human nervous system under both physiological and pathological conditions. By leveraging cutting-edge stem cell-based in vitro models along with advanced 3D and 4D imaging technologies, we aim to illuminate key molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying human neural development and the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. We are seeking a highly motivated, creative, and independent researcher to contribute to impactful and dynamic areas at the intersection of human neurobiology and bioengineering.

The Department of Molecular Pathobiology supports rapidly expanding research programs in state-of-the-art laboratories within the broader NYU research community. Research in the Division of Biomaterials & Regenerative Biology integrates bioengineering innovations with investigations into multicellular tissue assembly during healthy development and disease across molecular, cellular, and systems levels.

In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $50,000.00-$59,000.00. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grand funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer .

The successful candidate will hold a bachelor's or master's degree in developmental biology, cell biology, neuroscience, human biology, or a related field. The ideal candidate will have expertise in one or more of the following areas:

• Human stem cell or primary neuron culture

• Molecular biology techniques (e.g., RNA extraction, qPCR, genomic DNA extraction)

• Histology experiments (e.g., immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization)

Key responsibilities of this Assistant Research Scientist position include executing experiments, analyzing research findings for publications, ordering and cataloging lab supplies and reagents, and performing general lab upkeep and organizational tasks.
