Postdoctoral Fellow Position

JHU

Job Description

Postdoctoral Fellow Position in HIV-Comorbidities and Sleep Deficits Research

Employer: Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

Location: Baltimore, MD, USA

Position Description:

Dr. Xiaolei Zhu’s laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric conditions, with a particular focus on HIV-associated comorbidities. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral fellow to lead innovative research on HIV-associated sleep deficits and related neuroimmune mechanisms. This position offers a unique opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research at the interface of neuroimmunology, behavioral neuroscience, and single-cell sequencing, contributing to global efforts to mitigate HIV-associated neuropsychiatric disorders.

The successful candidate will utilize advanced animal models, including rodent EEG and behavioral assays, to assess sleep architecture and neurocognitive outcomes. Additional research includes exploring therapeutic interventions targeting neuroimmune pathways. Proficiency in single-cell RNA sequencing or neural circuit analysis is appreciated but not required.

Responsibilities:

• Design and conduct animal experiments, including EEG and behavioral studies, to investigate HIV-associated sleep deficits and neurocognitive changes.

• Examine neuroimmune mechanisms using molecular and cellular methodologies.

• Collaborate within a multidisciplinary research environment to advance scientific goals and produce high-impact publications.

• Prepare manuscripts, related grant proposals, and conference presentations.

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. in neuroscience, immunology, or a related field.

• Strong background in behavioral neuroscience and animal surgery (e.g., EEG implantation).

• Proven track record of research productivity, including peer-reviewed publications (preferably as first or co-first author).

• Experience with single-cell RNA sequencing or neural circuit analysis is a plus but not mandatory.

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Why Join Us?

The laboratory offers a dynamic and supportive environment, fostering innovation and collaboration. With access to state-of-the-art resources at Johns Hopkins University, this position provides an exceptional platform for impactful research and professional development. Recent lab publications in high-impact journals highlight our commitment to advancing the field of neuropsychiatry.

Start Date: Spring 2025 (flexible)

Application Process: Submit your CV, a cover letter (including research experience and future goals), and the contact details of three references to Dr. Xiaolei Zhu at xzhu31@jhmi.edu. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
