Principal Investigator, Tanuj Gulati, PhD is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!
When the work you do every single day has a crucial impact on the lives of others, every effort, every detail, and every second matters. This shared culture of happiness, passion, and dedication pulses through Cedars-Sinai, and it’s just one of the many reasons why we rank as one of the top hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.
The Gulati Laboratory is a systems neuroscience laboratory interested in understanding the motor basis of behavior. The lab uses cortical and spinal electrophysiology to understand the neural basis of motor control and learning, as well as sleep-related consolidation of a motor skill.
The Gulati Lab is also investigating novel neuroengineering strategies for repair and functional recovery after brain injury (stroke) and spinal cord injury that utilize development of spinal/cortical motor prostheses, brain machine interfaces and neurorobotics.

Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?
Under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Tanuj Gulati in the Center for Neural Science and Medicine (CNSM) within the Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMS), and working closely with other postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, undergraduate students, research associates, and collaborators, the postdoctoral fellow will be engaged in cutting-edge research with the goal of developing a mechanistic understanding of stroke recovery and developing rehabilitation therapies in preclinical rodent stroke models. The postdoctoral scholar will be responsible for performing rodent procedures such as rodent stroke surgeries, viral injections, neural implant procedures (for recording and stimulating neural activity). The postdoctoral scholar will also develop new rodent stroke models (endothelin injections) and implement simultaneous neurophysiological recordings with stroke injury in awake behaving rodents. They will participate in data analysis and interpretation and may assist in preparation of grant proposals. The postdoctoral scholar will participate in publications and presentations as an author or co-author.
