Postdoctoral Fellowships
Postdoctoral Fellow Positions
The BRAINS Research Laboratory currently consists of 18 well-established PIs who are excited to mentor and guide the future generation of neuroscientists. We study molecular/genetic mechanisms underlying various CNS disorders, including Stroke, Atrial fibrillation, Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, Vascular dementia, BBB disruption, Alzheimer’s Disease, etc. This multidisciplinary research group provides tremendous training opportunities and resources to postdoctoral fellows that aim at independent faculty-level career development. The UTHealth BRAINS research laboratories and the Graduate Program in Neuroscience form a vibrant research community with access to considerable existing infrastructure, core facilities, and specialized equipment.
Mechanisms Underlying Cardioembolic Strokes and Vascular Dementia
A Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available in the Manwani Lab at UTHealth in Houston. This current position will focus on identifying sex differences in cardio-embolism (study of atrial fibrillation) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Experience in mouse handling, minor surgeries like subcutaneous implants, animal cognitive behavior testing, flow cytometry, ELISA is preferred. State of the art, brain 7T MRI imaging and RNA sequencing will be utilized in this project and part of the postdoctoral training.
The ideal candidate will be a recent PhD with a strong publication record and experience in above techniques. Salary will be commensurate with relevant experience and based on the prevailing wage of postdoctoral research trainees set by the U.S. Department of Labor. Full-scale state employee benefits will be provided in general.
To Apply: Send your CV with names/contact info of 3 references to Dr. Bharti Manwani ([email protected]).

Sex-Specific Mechanisms Involved in Ischemic Stroke
The Chauhan Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. The lab focuses on understanding the sex-specific mechanisms involved in ischemic stroke with the aim to facilitate sex-specific drug discovery. The ideal candidate will join a dynamic, fast-paced group, and study the role of endogenous signaling molecules including, immune cells, and non-immune cells in our translational stroke models.
Candidate must be a PhD, MD, or the equivalent education, training, and experience from which comparable skills can be acquired. Some experience in surgery, and skills in bioinformatic analyses of large-scale/big data (RNA sequencing) would be an advantage.
To Apply: Send a cover letter, personal statement, CV, and contact information of 3 references to Dr. Anjali Chauhan ([email protected]).
