brain. Our research focuses on genomicimprinting—an epigenetic phenomenon in which genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin–specific manner—and its critical roles in brain development, growth, behavior, andlearning. The significance of imprinted genes is underscored by the diverse neural andbehavioral phenotypes associated with their dysregulation.The successful candidate will investigate the molecular mechanisms
that establish and maintain genomicimprinting and define the functions of imprinted non-coding RNAs in neurophysiologyand neurodevelopmental disorders. Basic Qualifications Applicants must have recently obtained a Ph.D. in a relevant field and demonstrated research productivity through peer-reviewed publications.The candidate should possess excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to clearly
convey complex scientific concepts.A strong interest in neurobiology, gene regulation, and/or computational biology is required. Additional Qualifications Special Instructions Letters of recommendation are not required at the time of application; however, letters will be collected for finalists. Candidates should submit with their application contact information for two to three references from experts at the ladder
faculty ranks or highly accomplished senior researchers from corporations of research institutes.Please include the following items as part of your application: Cover Letter containing short summary of previous research experience and future interests Curriculum Vitae Name and contact information for 2-3 references.
