Society for Neuroscience
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Society for Neuroscience, Aurora, Colorado, United States, 80012
Job Summary
The Allada laboratory (alladalab.org) is seeking energetic and highly motivated individuals for open postdoctoral positions. The lab studies the molecular and circuit basis of sleep and its links to learning and memory and neurodegenerative disease (Flourakis et al, Cell, 2015; Braun et al., PNAS, 2018; Andreani et al., eLife, 2022). Our research incorporates a wide range of multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular (e.g., RNA sequencing, luminescence reporter imaging, proteomics), cellular (e.g, connectomics, optical imaging), and behavioral (e.g., in vivo neuronal activation, memory) in a range of models, including flies, mice, and humans. We are especially interested in individuals with experience in Drosophila, mouse or human neuronal models. Interested individuals should apply here: https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/271287/research-fellow and include a brief statement of research interests, CV, and the names of three references.
Allada Lab Allada Lab investigates fundamental mechanisms of sleep and circadian rhythms and how their disruption contributes to neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Our work spans
Drosophila, mouse, and human systems , combining high-throughput genetics, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, neurophysiology, and advanced computational approaches. The lab is embedded within the Michigan Neuroscience Institute (MNI) – a cross-campus research community founded in 1955 that unites more than 160 faculty to advance discovery across molecular, cellular, systems, and computational neuroscience. This environment provides exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, access to cutting-edge cores, and engagement with a vibrant neuroscience community.
Qualifications We are looking for a highly motivated individual who meets the below qualifications:
Ph.D. in neuroscience or a closely related field.
Demonstrated expertise in
genetics (Drosophila, mouse, or human)
and/or
sleep research in mouse models .
Strong record of experimental execution, data analysis, and scientific communication.
Who We Are The Michigan Neuroscience Institute was established in 1955 to bring together investigators from across the University of Michigan campus to probe the mysteries of the brain on a cellular, molecular, and behavioral level. Its 160 faculty and affiliate members seek to understand the function and dysfunction of the human brain.
The Michigan Neuroscience Institute is an inclusive workplace that encourages individuals from diverse backgrounds and with diverse experiences to apply.
