A post-doctoral position is available immediately in the Dept. of Neurology, M
ount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.  The fellow will conduct resea
rch examining synaptic functions, plasticity and changes in neuronal morpholog
y (such as dendritic spines) during normal development of the CNS and in neuro
degenerative disorders (such as Parkinson’s disease). Combined patch/intracel
lular recording and two-photon time-lapse imaging will be used in the brain sl
ices and isolated brain structures.  Prior experience with either electrophysi
ology or fluorescence imaging is preferred, but not required.  Salary will be
based on NIH standard and experience.  Please send CV and reference informatio
n to:

Postdoctoral position to study the properties and functions of calcium release waves in the dendrites of hippocampal and cortical pyramidal neurons (see Neuron 24: 727-737, 1999 and J. Physiol. 549: 471-488, 2003 for recent examples of our work in this area). Experiments will involve whole-cell recording in slices from rats and mice, calcium imaging, 2-photon confocal microscopy, and laser uncaging of appropriate molecules (e.g. glutamate, IP3, and calcium). Experience with electrophysiology and an interest in biophysical mechanisms are required.

 

Our laboratory has a general interest in the properties of dendrites of CNS neurons and how they relate to the mechanisms of synaptic integration and synaptic plasticity, particularly LTD and endocannabinoid-mediated suppression of inhibition. We are part of small community of closely interacting neuroscientists at New York Medical College (eleven faculty members) with particular strength in cellular neurobiology.

 

Send letter, C.V., and names of two references to Dr. William Ross, Dept. of Physiology, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY 10595; email: ross@nymc.edu. See: http://www.nymc.edu/people/indviewg.asp?which=william_ross for more details about our work and the past history of this laboratory. Start date is flexible but would prefer someone in the fall of 2005. Salary is competitive. NYMC is 30 minutes from Manhattan in a suburban environment.

Postdoctoral positions are available immediately to study the
neurobiological basis of reward and mechanisms underlying addiction,
schizophrenia, and depression using transgenic mice with the opportunities
to apply findings to primates. The research will involve molecular,
genetic, genomic, electrophysiological, behavioral, and systems approaches.
Potential projects may include molecular cloning and characterization of
novel brain genes, electrophysiological and imaging studies of synaptic
transmission and plasticity using transgenic mouse neuronal culture and
brain slices, and functional interactions between glutamatergic and
dopaminerdic systems using in vitro assays. Candidates with experience in
patch-clamp/intracellular recordings are highly desirable and are
encouraged to apply. Interested candidates should submit a curriculum vitae
and contact information for three references to Wei-Dong Yao, Ph.D.

Position for Research student or Postdoc in Neuroscience

A position for research student or postdoctoral researcher is available in the
Center for Developmental Biology at University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center.
The central goal of our research is to understand how multipotent neural stem
cells become committed and differentiated into specific neural cell types (neu
ron and glia) in CNS. Research focuses on signaling pathways and regulatory ge
nes that control glial cell differentiation using gliogenesis in vivo/in vitro
as a model system.
