A postdoctoral position is available for research in the laboratory of Dr. Diasynou Fioravante in the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis. The position is fully funded for 3+ years. The research is supported by a NIH R01 grant focused on cerebellar neural circuits and mechanisms for motivated and affective behavior. Our project will utilize optophysiology, calcium and dopamine imaging, Patch-Seq and single-cell sequencing to define functional properties and cell types in limbic circuits and determine their contribution to learned behavior. As part of the UC Davis Center for Neuroscience, the fellow will work in a highly collaborative environment that involves research connecting molecular to systems levels, in mouse, with implications for the human condition. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a neuroscience-related field.
Preference will be given to applicants who have experience in the following techniques:
Interested applicants should e-mail a CV and brief cover letter with contact information for 3 references to Diasynou Fioravante (dfioravante@ucdavis.edu).
A Postdoctoral Scholar position is available in the laboratory of Dr. John Gray in the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis.
Our laboratory is interested in the regulation of synaptic development and plasticity in the mammalian brain using a combination of molecular, biochemical and electrophysiological approaches. This position, available immediately, will focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of synaptic NMDA receptors and how these processes modulate synapse development and plasticity. It is expected that the project will contribute to our understanding of the synaptic basis of neuropsychiatric disorders while focusing on the discovery of fundamental neurobiological principles.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a neuroscience-related field and preference will be given to applicants who have experience in slice electrophysiology. The fellow will benefit from the outstanding collaborative environment in the Center for Neuroscience at UC Davis. Salary is commensurate with the current NIH scale with benefits.
Interested applicants should e-mail a CV and brief cover letter with contact information for three references to John A. Gray, MD PhD (john.gray@ucdavis.edu).
