Postdoctoral Fellow-MSH

The laboratory of Silvia De Rubeis PhD at the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment in the Department of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York is seeking an ambitious creative and motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise in neuroscience to study the mechanisms underlying intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Rubeis laboratory aims at translating emerging genetic findings from large-scale

genomic studies into functional analyses in cellular and mouse models with the goal of understanding the pathogenic underpinnings of ID and ASD. The laboratory focuses on DDX3X syndrome a rare genetic disorder associated with ID and ASD using cellular and animal models. Our team currently includes one junior faculty one postdoctoral fellow two PhD students two research associates and one masters student.
