Overview
Postdoctoral Fellowship: Molecular Mechanisms of Stress and Alcohol Interactions - Maiya Lab, LSU Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) - New Orleans Job Details
Employer : LSU Health Sciences Center Location : New Orleans, Louisiana Salary : Commensurate with education and experience Closing date : Dec 20, 2025 Categories
Sector : Graduate School or University Job Function : Faculty Member; Postdoctoral Researcher Position Type : Fellowship Level : Mid Level Responsibilities and Qualifications
Dr. Rajani Maiya's laboratory in the department of Physiology at LSUHSC in New Orleans is currently recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to investigate the molecular mechanisms of stress and alcohol interactions. Our NIH-funded research program aims to dissect the relationship between stress and alcohol misuse at circuit, cellular, and molecular levels. Using an animal model of social stress-induced escalation of alcohol consumption, we are particularly focused on understanding neural circuits in which the Kappa/Dynorphin system acts to mediate these stress-induced increases in alcohol consumption. A complementary project applies single-nucleus transcriptomics to define molecular signatures of stress-escalated alcohol intake in the paraventricular thalamus. We are seeking individuals with experience in the fields of behavioral pharmacology, systems/circuit neuroscience, molecular neuroscience, and/or Omics-based approaches. More information can be found on the lab's website at www.maiyalab.org. Successful candidates will have substantial expertise in rodent behaviors and/or proficiency in bioinformatics pipelines for high-resolution transcriptomics. Individuals that are interested in combining behavioral and molecular approaches in their research are preferred and will receive training to build upon existing skill sets. The successful candidate will also receive intensive mentoring toward establishing an independent research career in the integrative neurosciences. Selected applicants are also eligible for appointment to our long-standing NIAAA T32 training program. Applicants are encouraged to contact Rajani Maiya directly at rmaiya@lsuhsc.edu.
