Postdoctoral position at the University of New Mexico is immediately
available to study the role and regulation of SNARE proteins mediating
neurotransmission in brain development and behavior
Projects entail the use of existent
knockout and knockin mutants in the mouse and
development of an inducible, brain region-specific mutation in conjunction with
molecular, cellular, and electrophysiological methods to study function (see our website:
http://www.unm.edu/~neurohsc/wilson.htm).
Support for this postdoctoral position is provided by a newly funded 5
year NIH award. Recent PhD graduates
with a neuroscience background and experience in molecular genetic and/or
electrophysiological methods are particularly encouraged to apply.
In addition to a highly interactive
academic environment in the Neurosciences Department (http://www.unm.edu/~neurohsc/) and other basic science departments
of the UNM Health Sciences Center, a postdoc in New
Mexico offers a uniquely diverse cultural and physical environment outside of
the lab. With a varied climate of desert mesas, aspen
and coniferous forests, and mountains reaching 13,000 feet, living in
New Mexico provides easy access to many outdoor
sports and recreation including hiking, camping, mountain biking, flyfishing and some of the finest ski and snowboarding
conditions in the Rocky Mountains.
Candidates interested in
this position should provide a CV and names of 2-3 references who can be
contacted. Please send these materials
