We invite applications for a postdoc position in a research group led by Ayumu Tashiro in Warwick-NTU Neuroscience research program, located at Biopolis, Singapore. Our work focuses on the function of hippocampal circuitry through a multi-disciplinary approach combining virus-mediated genetic manipulation, optogenetics, behavioral analysis and unit recording techniques in behaving rodents. A successful candidate contributes by her/his expertise in slice electrophysiology. A successful candidate requires a PhD degree in neuroscience or related field and skills required for independently performing experiments using whole-cell patch clamp recording in brain slice.
Research focuses
1) Function and regulations of adult dentate neurogenesis
- Circuit analysis using transgenic mice expressing channelrhodopsin-2
- Investigating functional integration of adult-born neurons using virus-mediated genetic manipulations (Ref. Tashiro et al. Nature 442:929-33, 2006. J Neurosci, 27:3252-9, 2007)
2) Cellular mechanisms underlying place cell activity in the hippocampus
- Synaptic and cellular analysis of genetically-manipulated neurons to elucidate mechanisms underlying place-cell activity.(ex. Roles of synaptic plasticity or neuromodulatory inputs).
To apply, please send C.V. by email to ayumu.tashiro@gmail.com
