Postdoctoral Fellowship to study synaptic plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases.
The electrophysiology laboratory in the Dept. of Neuroscience at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is now accepting applications for a postdoctoral position. The focus of the laboratory is on the molecular mechanism of synaptic neurotransmitter release and plasticity. We utilize genetically engineered mouse models to study synaptic changes in early stage of different neurodegenerative diseases, with special interest paid to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. The candidate must have M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree and have been trained in electrophysiology. He /she will prepare primary neuronal cultures from transgenic mice and perform intracellular patch clamp recordings from cultured cells as well as neurons in brain slices. Molecular biology or biochemistry training is a plus.
