A postdoc position in the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Centre for the Biology of Memory, Trondheim, Norway

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the Tashiro group in the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and the Centre for the Biology of Memory (www.ntnu.no/cbm) at Norwegian University of Science and Technology, located in Trondheim, Norway.

A major goal of research in the Tashiro group is to understand the cognitive functions of the dentate gyrus and its adult neurogenesis. Candidates are expected to have strong background in Neuroscience, particularly in Molecular/Cellular neuroscience or electrophysiology, and be capable of independently performing research activities. A successful candidate will be involved in either of the following two broadly-defined projects:
1) Experience-dependent functional integration of new neurons (Ref. Tashiro et al. Nature 442:929-33, 2006.; Tashiro et al., J Neurosci, 27:3252-9, 2007).
2) Recording neural activity in the dentate gyrus during memory-related behavior (Ref. Leutgeb et al. Science, 315:961-6, 2007)

To apply, please send C.V. and a description of your research interest by email to ayumu.tashiro@ntnu.no
