Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent. Interested candidates should forward a CV, a short description of research interests, and names with phone numbers of three references to individual investigators. A postdoctoral position is available to study genetic susceptibility to psychiatric and neurological disease. Our laboratory employs a strategy that involves identification of candidate genes in mouse models of homologous human phenotypes and translates these findings into human studies. Diseases of primary interest in our laboratory include depression, substance abuse and epilepsy.
Projects involve mapping as well as molecular characterization of candidate genes.
Special consideration will be given to applicants with previous experience in recombinant DNA technology. For Job Opportunities at the University of Pennsylvania, visit the Human Resource Services web site .
