In particular, we are interested in how neurotransmitter receptors are localized to postsynaptic specializations. We are also interested in the modification of synapses during development and in response to growth. CaMKII regulates the density of central glutamatergic synapses in vivo. Postdoc candidates would be joining an exciting community of C. elegans and Drosophila labs at Rutgers in New Jersey. Experience in either molecular biology, cell biology, or genetics would be an advantage.
