Overview
Postdoctoral Fellow – Neural Circuit Development of Higher Brain Function through Developmental Neurobiology and Electrophysiology The Kim Lab in the Department of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz is recruiting one or more NIH-funded postdoctoral fellows to join our collaborative and multidisciplinary team. These positions are supported by the NIH R01 mechanisms. Our lab investigates how molecular genetic programs interact with environmental factors to guide the assembly of precise neural circuits during mammalian brain development. We are particularly interested in how these developmental processes establish long-range connectivity and influence sensory processing and behavior. To explore these questions, we develop and apply an integrated set of tools and approaches, including: Next-generation trans-synaptic viral circuit tracing Engineering novel viral vectors for cell- and circuit-specific labeling Single-cell genome-wide transcriptomics In vivo imaging and circuit manipulation Mouse genetics and developmental models We offer a rigorous and supportive training environment with strong collaborative ties across UCSC’s neuroscience, genomics, and developmental biology communities. UCSC also provides excellent postdoctoral support and access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure. Qualifications and Areas of Interest
We welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds and interests. Particularly encouraged are applicants with experience in or enthusiasm for: Developmental biology and molecular genetics Electrophysiology (in vitro or in vivo) for studying neural circuits Single-cell omics and transcriptomics Viral vector design and engineering Neural circuit mapping and manipulation Mouse models of brain development Candidates must hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) by the start date and have a strong record of research productivity. Prior experience in neuroscience or developmental biology is preferred but not required. Application Materials
To apply, please send: Curriculum vitae Brief cover letter describing your research background, interests, and goals Contact information for three references Informal inquiries are welcome.
