美国水牛城神经科学博后职位

A post-doctoral position is available in the laboratory of M. Laura Feltri, in the Hunter James Kelly Research Institute at the State University of Buffalo, NY, to investigate the molecular basis of myelination, axonal support and myelin diseases. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to build on a line of research related to axon-glial interactions during development and in human diseases. They will help mentor trainees and provide input on existing projects. The ideal candidate will have a PhD or MD degree with a strong background in neuroscience, cell biology or a related field. We are looking for a person with great enthusiasm and dedication and the desire to transition to an independent research career. Preferred technical qualifications include experience with mouse genetic models, primary neural cultures and 3D cultures from rodents and humans, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, live imaging, proteomic. We use a combination of innovative sub-fractionation techniques, animal models and co-culture systems to study cell-cell communications, adhesion, mechano transduction and mechanisms of axonal support in glia cells (see Reference 1,2). This position is immediately available, is funded by the NIH for 3-4 years and comes with a competitive salary and full fringe benefits.
