Pos-Doutorado na California

A Postdoctoral position is available for research in the areas of STEM CELLS AND NEURODEVELOPMENT. The laboratory, headed by Dr. Alysson R. Muotri, make use of human ES and iPS cells, in combination with genetic, molecular, biochemical and computational tools, to study early stages of brain development and the formation of neuronal networks.
Research currently focuses on two interconnected projects:
(1) Development of state-of-the-art human cellular models to study neurodevelopmental diseases, such as autism spectrum disorder;
(2) Study of neuronal complexity by the dynamics and regulation of mobile elements upon neuronal commitment.
Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. and solid experience in cell and molecular biology, genetics and/or computational biology, as demonstrated by record of publications. If interested, please send CV and two letters of recommendation via email to:
Dr. Muotri, muotri@salk.edu.
The UCSD stem cell initiative is a new interdisciplinary research program in the heart of La Jolla, California, focusing on several aspects of stem cell biology.
