Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Posted by Kevin Francis, on 9 October 2015
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
| A NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Kevin Francis at The Children’s Health Research Center at Sanford Research (Sioux Falls, SD) to study the consequences of altered cholesterol metabolism on neurodevelopment and neuronal function. The successful applicant will utilize a wide range of experimental approaches, including iPS cell models, electrophysiology, whole genome sequencing, confocal imaging, and genome editing, to answer questions of biological and clinical significance. Current research projects are exploring lipid-protein interactions critical for neurodevelopment, identifying mechanisms underlying neuronal fate choice, and developing iPS cell-based assays for high-throughput small molecule screens.
Candidates with established expertise in electrophysiology are particularly encouraged to apply. Experience in neurobiology, molecular biology, and stem cell biology is also desirable. Additional information about the Children’s Health Research Center can be found on the center’s website here. |
| Contact: Candidates should submit a cover letter (including career goals), curriculum vitae, and contact information for three or more professional references to Dr. Kevin Francis at: kevin.francis@sanfordhealth.org. |
