The successful applicant will join a collaborative, inclusive, and dynamic group of investigators from across the UVA neuroscience community with similar research interests. They will enjoy access to unique shared research facilities in the Department of Neurology and the Center for Brain Immunology and Glia (BIG), including high-resolution single- and multi-photon confocal and light-sheet microscopy, flow cytometry, and behavioral equipment.
