Posted by JMWeimer, on 29 August 2013
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROSCIENCE is immediately available to study signaling factors that regulate cortical development using in vivo mouse models. In this NIH-funded project, we explore signaling factors that influence the restricted proliferation of intermediate neural progenitors in the developing cerebral cortex. We focus on regulators of small RhoGTPases, comprised of guanine-nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins (GAPs), that control the GTP-loading state and activity of RhoGTPases. Highly motivated candidates who have recently received a PhD or MD (<4 years from completion of degree) with a strong cellular and molecular biology, biochemistry and/or neuroscience background and familiarity with molecular techniques are encouraged to forward their CV, three references, and a brief statement of research interest by email to:
