The Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Neuroscience at Loyola University Chicago is recruiting a Staff Scientist for Dr. Monsheel Sodhi's newly funded projects investigating stress-related cognitive dysfunction.
Description: We are seeking highly motivated and creative Staff Scientist to join a dynamic Research Team exploring fundamental questions about the molecular basis of cognition and stress resilience. Projects will be data-driven, using a reverse translational approach. Our recent work revealed that an epitranscriptomic process known as RNA editing, is abnormally regulated in several neurological disorders. Following these studies of Human Brain, we are testing the effects of stress on Mouse behavior, Neuronal Morphology and Neurochemistry. Our results suggest that prenatal stress triggers abnormalities in the glutamate system and in RNA editing, which may be precursors for cognitive dysfunction. We have consistently identified sex differences in these data. The objective of this Research is to identify new targets for improved therapeutic interventions.
Trainees who join Dr. Sodhi's Lab will gain experience in Molecular Genetics, Gene expression studies of rodent or human tissue, behavioral Pharmacology, mammalian cell culture, in addition to gaining expertise in the broader area of stress Neurobiology. Our projects provide opportunities to become proficient in state-of-the-art techniques such as next generation sequencing, behavioral Pharmacology and Neuronal Tracing.
