Neural Circuit Development

我々は（http://www.umemorilab.org）今まで、脳での情報伝達の場であるシナプスがどのような分子機構で作られるか、シナプス結合の特異性はどのように発揮されるのか、そして、シナプス結合が神経活動に応じてどのように改変されていくのかを解析してきました（e.g., Cell 2004, Cell 2007, Nature 2010, Neuron 2011, Nature Neuroscience 2013, eLife 2016)。現在はさらに、神経回路レベルで、特異的かつ機能的な回路がどのように形成されるかを解析しています。下記の英語のDescriptionも参考にしてください。

現在、意欲的、創造的なポスドクを募集中です。 我々の現在の研究を発展させる、あるいは新たなテーマを一緒にスタートさせてくれる人を探しています。メールに、英語で今までの自分の研究についてと、これからどんなことがやりたいかを書いてCVとともに応募してください（hisashi.umemori@childrens.harvard.edu）。いろいろな分野から、新しいことを始めてくれる人を歓迎します。

Neural Circuit Development: Postdoctoral positions are available

The Umemori lab (http://www.umemorilab.org) is looking for motivated postdoctoral fellows to join our projects or to start new projects.

We have been identifying the mechanisms underlying the establishment of appropriate synaptic connections in the brain in order to provide clues for the treatment of disorders associated with abnormal synapse development (e.g., Cell 2004, Cell 2007, Nature 2010, Neuron 2011, Nature Neuroscience 2013, eLife 2016).
We are currently studying how specific and functional neural circuits are established in the brain. For our current projects funded by the NIH and other agencies, please go to:
https://umemorilab.wordpress.com/research-interests/

We are particularly interested in dopaminergic circuits, cortico-basal ganglia circuits, and limbic circuits, but are open to any circuits in the brain. We are trying to understand how specific circuits develop and are modified (e.g., by environment) in the brain in order to support our brain function.

Ph.D. and/or M.D. scientists trained in any fields of biology are welcome to apply. Any interested individuals should send their CV, a summary of research accomplishments, and a statement of scientific/research interests (i.e., what you want to do in our lab) to "hisashi.umemori@childrens.harvard.edu".
We are looking for motivated scientists from any fields to initiate new and exciting projects in our lab.
