Postdoctoral trainee and predoctoral technician positions in the Bevan lab, Department of Physiology, Northwestern University
Several postdoctoral research and predoctoral technician positions are available in the Bevan lab. The lab studies the neural mechanisms underlying basal ganglia-related psychomotor function and dysfunction in mouse models of Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. The lab uses a wide range of electrophysiological, optical, genetic, and behavioral interrogation approaches. Postdoctoral applicants should have a PhD in the life sciences, physics, or biomedical engineering, as well as research experience in neuroscience. An undergraduate degree in one of these fields is sufficient for the research technician position. Applications are particularly encouraged from highly motivated scientists with expertise and/or interest in electrophysiology, modern circuit interrogation approaches, and/or mouse behavior. Extensive training and mentorship will be provided. Salary is commensurate with experience and start date is negotiable. The positions will remain open until filled but early applications/expressions of interest are encouraged. Please submit a brief cover letter describing your career path and future goals, an NIH biosketch or CV, and contact information for 2-3 references to [email protected]
