Postdoctoral position: Formation and Roles of Drosophila Axonal Endoplasmic Reticulum
Posted by cahirokane, on 6 October 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
A vacancy for a postdoctoral research associate is available for 2 years from 1 Jan 2016 in the first instance. Axonal endoplasmic reticulum is a poorly characterised compartment that is probably ubiquitous in axons, may mediate local and long-distance communication, and probably underlies a number of neurodegenerative mechanisms.
We have developed ways to visualise axonal ER in Drosophila, and identified mutations affecting its organisation. We now wish to understand more of its mechanisms of formation, and its physiological role.
