Postdoctoral position: Neural control of cardiorespiratory function
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Columbia, South Carolina, us, 29228
Job Title: Postdoctoral position: Neural control of cardiorespiratory function
Job Number:
83105
Location:
Columbia,US
Job Description
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for self-motivated researchers interested in the mechanisms responsible for adaptations in central autonomic pathways in health and disease. Selected individuals will join the NIH-funded collaborative in vivo and in vitro studies of Dr. Kevin J. Cummings and Dr. David D. Kline at the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, University of Missouri. Funded research projects investigate the plasticity neurons in the forebrain and brainstem in response to acute and chronic hypoxia and the effects of this plasticity on the central regulation of breathing and blood pressure. We are seeking candidates that have experience in or are seeking to learn in vivo rodent measurements, including conscious chronically instrumented animals, in vivo CNS microinjections, single- and multi-unit brainstem neuron or peripheral nerve recordings, photometry, as well as manipulation of these neurons and central pathways via chemo- and optogenetics. Ideally, the successful applicant will have expertise in one or more of these approaches as well as an intense interest in central autonomic regulation and a desire to broaden their expertise. Candidates must have a PhD, MD or comparable doctoral degree; prior training in neuroscience, cardiovascular and/or respiratory regulation is highly desirable. Salary commensurate with experience and NIH guidelines.
Interested individuals should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names of three references via email to Kevin J. Cummings ([Please click the Apply button for the link or email]). The University of Missouri is an equal-opportunity employer.
