Several postdoctoral positions are available to study the molecular mechanisms of synapse formation and function during normal development and in Drosophila models of aging and neurodegenerative disease.
Positions are available for an initial two year term with the possibility of renewal.
A full time Research Associate Position is available to study mechanisms of neuronal development, function and neurodegenerative disease. Candidates must hold a PhD and have a strong background in genetics and molecular biology. Additional experience in protein biochemistry and cell biology or neurophysiology also an asset. The successful candidate should possess strong leadership and organizational ability and must have strong written and oral communication skills. The successful applicant will be expected to carry out independent research but also coordinate research programs within the lab and contribute to writing manuscripts and grant applications.
