美国加州大学旧金山分校功能成像、电生理学或代谢分析方向博士后职位

时间:2021-07-19来源:中国博士人才网 作者:佚名

Postdoctoral position in Liu lab at UCSF

A postdoctoral research position is available to study the molecular and cellular basis of nutrient specific appetite in Drosophila. Animals can exhibit hunger for not only total calories but also specific nutrients. Food selection driven by nutrient specific appetite can be essential for survival and fitness, yet there is a profound gap in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. We use multidisciplinary approaches in the fruit fly to study the genes and circuitry underlying nutrient specific appetite. To carry out these studies, we combine molecular and genetic approaches with high throughput behavioral analyses, immunohistochemical techniques, functional imaging and electrophysiology techniques. Applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. and be energetic and highly motivated. Preference will be given to candidates with experiences in functional imaging, electrophysiology, or metabolic analysis.
