St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Postdoctoral Research Associate – In vivo 2-photon neural circuit imaging – Zakh
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, us, 37544
Overview
A postdoctoral position is available for a motivated researcher to study neural circuit mechanisms of schizophrenia. The laboratory uses 2-photon laser-scanning microscopy to image neuronal activity in awake mice, focusing on mouse models of genetic risk for schizophrenia, including 22q11.2 and 3q29 deletion syndromes. Responsibilities
Lead an independent research project to identify abnormal neuronal activities in circuits of murine models of 22q11.2 and 3q29 deletion syndromes. Perform 2-photon imaging in awake or behaving animals; utilize optogenetics and chemogenetics as appropriate. Qualifications
PhD in neuroscience or related fields Experience with optogenetics and chemogenetics Hands-on experience with 2-photon imaging techniques Experience analyzing time-series data, preferably from neuroimaging or behavioral studies Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment Preferred
MD or PhD in Neuroscience within the last 3 years; experience in 2-photon imaging in freely behaving or head-fixed animals, single-cell electrophysiology, computational neuroscience, and data mining using machine learning methods About the lab
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital offers an excellent salary and benefits package and is an equal opportunity employer. The laboratory is part of the Department of Developmental Neurobiology with access to shared resources for rodent behavior testing, neuroimaging, bioinformatics, and advanced image processing. Application process
Interested applicants should send their CV and the names and addresses of three references to: Stanislav Zakharenko, M.D., Ph.D. Department of Developmental Neurobiology, MS 322 St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital 262 Danny Thomas Place Memphis, TN 38105 stanislav.zakharenko@stjude.org Equal opportunity
