Description & Requirements About the Stanley Center:
Reducing the burden of serious mental illness through research, the Stanley Center aims to exploit the most advanced technologies for human genetic analysis in order to understand disease mechanisms for psychiatric disorders, identify potential biomarkers, and ignite needed progress in therapeutics. Our goal is to derive biological insights from disease associated genes, contribute to new understandings of pathogenesis, the identification of biomarkers, and above all, new treatments.
Job Description
The Stanley Center therapeutics group is seeking a candidate that will support the in vivo characterization of novel therapeutics developed here at the Broad institute to treat the unmet needs of schizophrenia. The position will be imbedded within the Stanley Center therapeutics group that combines genetics, medicinal chemistry, high-throughput technologies with animal model systems. The Broad Institute provides a vibrant research environment with close links to MIT, Harvard, and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals across Boston. The candidate will work with senior researchers to develop, validate, and subsequently perform rodent animal behavioral assays to characterize the effects of novel small molecule compounds targeting schizophrenia risk genes and associated pathways. The candidate will interact intensively with biologists, electrophysiologists, chemists, and computational scientists. The candidate will spearhead the following projects:
