NIH-funded Postdoc Position, Neuroscience and Cell Biology

Postdoctoral Position
University of Massachusetts Medical School

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is currently open for worldwide enthusiastic young scientists, for the study of new neuronal signaling pathways that involve GPCR and Ca2+ ions.

We initiate our projects with a genetic assay system, the fly photoreceptor cells, and finalize them in mammalian neurons. A variety of molecular and cell biological, biochemical and electrophysiological approaches are employed for the study. Examples of molecules under study are the GPCR-operated TRP Ca2+ channels and a brand-new neuronal transcription factor that is directly regulated by Ca2+/Calmodulin. In addition, we have newly identified several endocytosis-related genes that are implicated in the regulation of fly TRP channels. Each of these projects has the potential to be developed into a direction for a whole lab. More information on our researches can be found at the website: [Only registered users see links. ].

Applicants are expected to have strong experience in molecular and cell biology, neuroscience or fly genetics. Please send CV and contact information of three references to [Only registered users see links. ], or by mail to: Hong-Sheng Li, Ph.D., Department of Neurobiology, University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA 01605 U.S.A.
