Post-doctoral position in Paris/France

Starting date: as soon as possible
Application deadline: until post is filled
Duration: up to 3 years
Institution: INSERM, UniversitéParis 6
Medical center: Institut du Ferà Moulin.

Job Description :
A post-doctoral position is available with immediate effect funded by the European Commission to study the role of serotonin and GABA neurotransmission in the building of brain connexions. The project is part of a multidisciplinary consortium aimed at defining the developmental basis of anxiety disorders.

Studies in the laboratory of Patricia Gaspar will involve the analysis of the heterogeneity of the ascending serotonin systems, using several mouse strains. In vivo and in vitro studies (primary cultures and co-cultures) will be done in parallel. Techniques will involve anatomical tracing, transfections of genes, molecular characterization (immuno, in situ hybridization), and live-cell imaging.

Applicants should have a PHD degree in (developmental) neuroscience. Ideally, they should have prior experience in any of the fields related to the project.
Please send your applications or questions preferably by e-mail to gaspar[at]chups.jussieu.fr. Application should include a CV, a brief statement of research interest including your past experience and names of 2 references.
