Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Study Neural Circuit Formation and Regeneration using nematode C. elegans
A postdoctoral position focusing on studying Neural Circuit Formation and Regeneration using nematode C. elegans is available for a highly motivated candidate in the laboratory of Dr. Dong Yan at Duke University Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology, Durham, North Carolina (http://mgm.duke.edu/).
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neural circuit formation during development and regeneration following injury is of great interest to human health. Our long-term goal is to understand how individual neurons are assembled into neural circuits during development, and how neurons respond to injury in adulthood. To address these questions, we utilize a tiny round worm C. elegans as a model, because the simple and defined anatomy of this organism allows our analyses at the subcellular resolution of nervous system in living animals.
Duke University is an internationally recognized research institution. Postdoctoral appointees at Duke University receive a salary based on the NIH NRSA guidelines and a generous benefit package. Durham is a part of Research Triangle Region that combines the attractions of a major city with family-friendly and affordable lifestyle opportunities.
The candidate must have a PhD degree in Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, Genetics or related fields. For those interested, please send a CV, contact information of at least three references, and a brief research statement describing past achievements, skills and research interests to Dr. Dong Yan at doyan@ucsd.edu
