RESEARCH POSITIONS IN NEUROSCIENCE

The School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University and the Warwick-NTU Neuroscience Programme invite candidates for Postdoctoral Fellows and Research Associates to join a Neural Circuits laboratory based at the Biopolis research complex in Singapore.

The laboratory aims to identify and characterize factors that direct the assembly and maintenance of neural circuits, and to understand how the organization of these circuits controls specific behaviors. These issues are examined through the analysis of circuits in the cerebellum important for coordination, movement and motor learning. We are seeking individuals with interests in neuroscience, molecular and developmental biology who wish to explore mechanisms underlying the development and function of neural circuits using genetics, optogenetics, imaging, and/or behavioral approaches.

Principal Responsibilities:
Utilize and develop anatomical, genetics, optogenetics, imaging and behavioral assays to characterize circuits involved in motor behaviors and learning. Assess consequences of genetically manipulating components of cerebellar circuits in vivo and in vitro using mice.

Preferred Qualifications:
B.S./M.S./Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Physiology or the equivalent. Experience with biochemistry, imaging, molecular biology, murine genetics, and/or murine behavioral analysis.

Please send cover letter, CV, and names of 3 references to Albert I. Chen at aic2002@gmail.com
