Research Associate, Neuroscience
Posting Department: Neuroscience
Posted Date: 03/22/2013
Expire Date: 03/22/2015
The Department of Neuroscience at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania seeks candidates for a Research Associate position in the Academic Support Staff. This appointment will be initially for one (1) year and continuation during that time period and renewal are based on satisfactory performance and availability of funding (limited to three (3) years). The successful applicant will have experience in the field of Neuroscience with a focus on Drosophila genetics. Responsibilities include conducting a large-scale overexpression genetic screen to identifying novel circadian mutants and further investigate the molecular pathways underlying circadian rhythms using cell culture and in vivo molecular assays.
The successful applicant will have experience in the field of neurobiology, genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and/or molecular biology. Applicants must have a PhD degree, strong background in Drosophila genetics preferably studying behavioral and molecular bases of circadian rhythms, and have demonstrated excellent qualifications in Research. Must have post-doctoral experience for four (4) or five (5) years on studies of circadian rhythms. The duration of the appointment is likely to be only for 1-2 years. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree and have demonstrated excellent qualifications in research.
We are interested in identifying novel genes and neural circuits required for circadian rhythms in Drosophila. A circadian rhythm is a roughly 24 hour cycle in the physiological processes of living beings, including plants, animals, fungi and cyanobacteria, and Drosophila has been a pioneer model organism to study the molecular and neural basis of such profound rhythmic behaviors.
The University of Pennsylvania is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer. Women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense.
