Postdoctoral Research Opportunities – Basal ganglia circuit function and dysfu
Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Professor Mark Bevan in the Department of Neuroscience at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine invites applications from postdoctoral scientists with expertise in electrophysiology and modern circuit interrogation approaches to study basal ganglia circuit function and its dysregulation in mouse models of Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. These positions are multi-year, come with a highly competitive salary, benefits, and relocation, and are available until filled. Extensive training, mentorship, and support will be provided.
The laboratory ( https://labs.feinberg.northwestern.edu/bevan/index.html ) is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and employs a range of powerful techniques includingin vivoandex vivoelectrophysiology, neuroanatomy at the light and electron microscopic levels, optogenetics, chemogenetics, 2-photon imaging, and uncaging, molecular profiling and manipulation, computational modeling, and mouse behavior.
Applicants should have a PhD in the life sciences, physics, or biomedical engineering, ideally with research experience in in vivo or ex vivo electrophysiology. If interested, please submit a brief cover letter describing your career path and future goals, an NIH biosketch or CV and contact information for two to three references to m-bevan@northwestern.edu
If you are attending the upcoming Chicago SFN this would be a great time to visit the lab, meet the team, and explore the city.
