美国Burke神经学研究所博士后职位

　　The Neural Connectivity Development in Physiology and Disease laboratory at the Burke-Cornell Neurological Institute, led by Yutaka Yoshida, PhD, is currently seeking a Postdoctral Fellow with laboratory experience in either molecular biology or neuroscience. The Yoshida laboratory is interested in formation, function, and regeneration of motor circuits controlling locomotor and skilled movements. We especially study descending motor circuits including corticospinal circuits using various techniques such as molecular biology, mouse genetics, trans-synaptic viruses, optogenetic and chemogenetic tools, and spinal cord injury.

　　The Burke Neurological Institute, located 35 minutes outside of NYC in White Plains, NY, is a leader in utilizing innovative scientific approaches to develop regenerative strategies to combat neurological disability with particular interests in stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases. The Institute is affiliated with Weill Medical College of Cornell University and faculty members are appointed in Departments at the Weill Medical College.
