PostDoc - Neurosciences

University of Massachusetts Medical School
United States

Description

We are seeking highly motivated individuals to work on a research project focused on the assembly and wiring of brain circuits. Our laboratory is interested in the mechanisms that regulate the connectivity between neurons.  We focus on the process of neuronal integration during adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb and hippocampus.  The research combines techniques in electrophysiology, molecular biology, neuroanatomy, viral tracing, and transgenesis in rodents.

Requirements

A Ph.D. in neuroscience  or a related field is required and candidates should have a record of research excellence demonstrated by publication. Experience with electrophysiological recordings, developmental neuroscience or molecular neurobiology is highly desired. Candidates must have a strong interest to work as members of a team.  Applicants who are motivated to develop careers as independent investigators are especially encouraged.

More information and applications

Depending on qualifications, postdoctoral fellows will receive salaries according to NIH guidelines (starting salary is 40,000 USD or approx. 30,500 Euros). It is anticipated that  the postdoctoral fellows will stay in the lab for 4-­‐5 years. In your application, include  a detailed curriculum vitae, a short statement  on future research  ambitions, and names and contact details for at least two references to carlos.lois@umassmed.edu
