Two postdoctral positions in Neuroscience

We invite applications for two postdoctoral positions in the laboratory of Dr. Ayumu Tashiro in Warwick-NTU Neuroscience research program, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Our work focuses on the function of hippocampal circuitry through a multi-disciplinary approach combining virus-mediated genetic manipulation, optogenetics, behavioral analysis and unit recording techniques in behaving rodents.

Project 1
– Molecular mechanisms underlying activity-dependent regulation of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (Ref. Tashiro et al. Nature 442:929-33, 2006. J Neurosci, 27:3252-9, 2007, Aasebo et al., Euro J. Neurosci, 33, 1094-100, 2011).

Project 2
– Optogenetics-assisted identification and characterization of neuronal activity in the dentate gyrus in behaving mice

To apply for the positions, please send your C.V., the contact information of 2-3 referees and a description of why you are interested in and a good fit to these positions by email to ayumu.tashiro@gmail.com
