Description: A postdoctoral position is available to undertake MRC funded research investigating the role of Downs Syndrome trisomy on different mechanisms of synaptic vesicle recycling. The position is for three years and is based at the Centre for Integrative Physiology. You will be ambitious and self-motivated and join a well funded research laboratory within a vibrant research community focussing on vesicle and protein traffic. Experience in cell/molecular neuroscience and live cell fluorescence imaging is particularly desirable.
Description: A post-doctoral research position is available at the University of Chicago as part of a funded NICHD Program Project grant investigating the response of glial precursors to embryonic brain injury and the function of the remodeling of the extracellular milieu after injury. The candidate will work in a group active in multidisciplinary approaches to study embryonic CNS injury, which include gene expression manipulation, in vivo injury modeling in avian and mammalian systems, and live-cell microscopy.
Description: Research will focus on collaborative and multidisciplinary studies to determine mechanisms of glial progenitor differentiation and white matter repair across CNS lesion types, including stroke, cuprizone and EAE models, using electrophysiological study in transgenic mice. These studies combine the expertise of stroke and MS basic science labs with a history of high impact publications in these fields. Please send your curriculum vitae and names and addresses of three references to Dr. Seema Tiwari-Woodruff
(seemaw@ucla.edu).
Description:

Description: Seeking a postdoctoral research fellow with interests in cell signaling and mechanisms controlling membrane vesicle dynamics and receptor partitioning in neurons during axon guidance. The postdoc will be a part of an NIH-funded project on transduction mechanisms mediating nerve growth cone guidance, in the Developmental and Regenerative Neurobiology Lab, directed by John Henley at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN henley.john@mayo.edu.
Employer: Loyola University (Chicago) School of Medicine
Description: Seek curious, hardworking individual for open academic postdoctoral position researching NIH-funded project on ethanol-induced neurodegeneration in rat brain.As a lipidomics effort, it involves generating brain slice cultures and examining membrane phospholipids changes with HPLC and MS and possibly other techniques. Of importance, it requires flexibility to periodically do analyses in Bethesda Maryland at our collaborating NIH lab, but most research is at Loyola Medical Center in suburban Maywood, just minutes west of the exciting downtown of Chicago. Opportunities to participate in our Alcohol Research Program and the Neuroscience Institute at Loyola Medical Center, and appropriate benefits.
Description: A Postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Maria I. Givogri at the University of Illinois Chicago to study involvement of sulfatides in neurogliogenesis underlying remyelination in multiple sclerosis. Our laboratory is interested in determining the role of these sphingolipids in regulating cellular responses in human neural stem cells and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells during disease. Strengths of the laboratory include cell culture, cell signaling, cell commitment, cell differentiation, optical imaging, stereology, mass spectrometry, proteomic and gene array analyses. We seek to identify a highly motivated and creative scientist with a penchant for intellectual rigor. Preference will be given to PhDs and/or MDs with experience in stem cell biology, biochemistry, statistical analysis and other modern cell biological approaches. Candidates familiar with genetic and acute animal models of multiple sclerosis are especially welcomed. This opportunity is funded by the Department of Defense and includes a competitive salary and fringe benefits. The scientific environment encourages and facilitates collaborations throughout UIC neuroscience community. This position is available as of February 1st, 2011 and applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Send CV including names of references to mgivogri@uic.edu. The University of Illinois is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.
Description: A Postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Ernesto Bongarzone at the University of Illinois Chicago to study the cell biology underlying the mobilization of stem cells in multiple sclerosis.
