11-18-22: We are recruiting a postdoctoral associate or experienced technician to study how meningeal lymphatics and the glymphatic system develop, integrate, and are maintained over the lifespan. We are interested in studying how CSF and mechanosensation help control these processes. Immediate publication opportunities are available. Please email Dr. Tischfield to apply.
