Job description
The Gallo Laboratory at the Center for Integrative Brain Research (CIBR) is at the forefront of investigating the genetic and cellular mechanisms governing neural development and injury, and neurodevelopmental disorders in the neonatal Central Nervous System (CNS). Situated within a multidisciplinary and highly interactive environment, our laboratory fosters collaboration and innovation. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding of neonatal brain development and function/dysfunction, leveraging expertise in genetic mouse models, neuroembryology, molecular and cellular manipulation, electrophysiology, and animal behaviour.
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will contribute to our ongoing research endeavours by:
- Developing scientific skills commensurate with the post-doctoral level
- Conducting research and development activities in support of assigned projects
- Protocol development and review
- Data collection and analysis
- Preparation of manuscripts and fellowship applications
- Training in the conduct of research
The candidate
The ideal candidate will possess advanced skills in neurophysiological techniques, integrating electrophysiology, molecular biology, and multiomics, including:
- Patch-Seq.
- In-vivo and/or Ex-vivo Opto/Chemogenetics: Experience with in-vivo and/or ex-vivo opto/chemogenetics techniques is highly desirable.
- Evaluation of Neuronal Plasticity in Cerebellar Circuits: Demonstrated ability to evaluate neuronal plasticity in cerebellar circuits through current clamp and/or pair recordings is a significant advantage.
- Murine Models Expertise: Hands-on experience with murine models of demyelination and perinatal disease is preferred.
Required Education/Experience:
Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Biophysics, Bioengineer or related field
Preferred:
- Strong background in neurophysiology, molecular biology, and animal models
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
- Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively
How to apply
To apply, please submit a cover letter detailing your research interests and career goals, along with a current CV and contact information for three references. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Join Us in Advancing Neuroscience: This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic and innovative team dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of the neonatal brain. Join us in our quest to make breakthrough discoveries with profound implications for human health and well-being.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion. Qualified individuals from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
