Lab philosophy
We strive to build a collaborative, creative, and rigorous scientific environment grounded in open communication and integrity. We believe that excellent science benefits from different perspectives and from a culture in which everyone feels respected, supported, and able to contribute fully. We value curiosity, compassion, accountability, and kindness, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive community where Black lives matter, love is love, feminism is for everyone, immigrants are welcome, and diversity strengthens science.

Open postdoctoral positions
We welcome inquiries from prospective postdoctoral fellows interested in the neurobiology of behavior, neuroimmune communication, and related areas of neuroscience. We are especially interested in candidates who are excited to develop an independent research direction while participating in mentorship, scientific communication, and collaborative grant writing.
