About this position
Pain Neurocircuitry and Cellular Plasticity Laboratory
PI: Dr. Yarimar Carrasquillo
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, National Institutes of Health
We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with expertise in single-cell transcriptomics, spatial transcriptomics, computational biology, bioinformatics, and/or patch-seq to develop and apply multimodal approaches for understanding the cellular and circuit mechanisms underlying pain.
Our laboratory combines molecular, cellular, systems, and behavioral neuroscience approaches to identify mechanisms underlying pain chronification, analgesia, affective-motivational comorbidities, and opioid-related behaviors. We are currently expanding into transcriptomic and cross-species studies that integrate molecular identity, electrophysiology, neural circuits, and behavior to identify molecular signatures underlying chronic pain and associated behavioral states.
QUALIFICATIONS/ELIGIBILITY: Applicants should have less than 3 years of relevant research experience since their receipt of a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree in biomedical sciences. Candidates with strong molecular, computational, or transcriptomic backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply. Other requirements include strong laboratory, analytical, and organizational skills; excellent verbal and written communication skills in English; and the ability to work independently, as well as part of a team. Competitive stipends are determined by education and years of experience.
HOW TO APPLY: Applicants must submit a current CV, a brief statement of research interests (one paragraph), and the names and contact information of three references to Yarimar Carrasquillo (Yarimar.carrasquillo@nih.gov).

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
