POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN SPINAL CORD INJURY RESEARCHWashington University In Saint Louis - St. Louis, MO
A funded postdoctoral position in Spinal Cord Injury Research is available for a highly motivated candidate in the laboratory of Dr. Cavalli at Washington University in Saint Louis School of Medicine to participate in research projects focusing on new strategies for spinal cord repair. By studying the molecular events that dictate the regenerative response of neurons in the peripheral nervous system, we have harnessed information that can be used to increase the regenerative capacity in the central nervous system. Using transgenic mouse models and a combination of biochemistry, cell biology and cutting edge in vitro and in vivo fluorescence microscopy imaging techniques we will explore new strategies for spinal cord repair that focuses on the transcriptional switch controlling axon growth competence following injury. We are also assessing the mechanisms controlling de novo growth cone formation following injury. For additional information see http://thalamus.wustl.edu/cavallilab .
Setting/Salary/Benefits: Our laboratory is in an academic setting in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at Washington University School of Medicine (St. Louis), an internationally recognized research institution consistently ranked among the top five medical schools in the country. The extreme collegiality of Washington University combined with the large Neuroscience Community and extensive infrastructural and core facility support creates a dynamic research environment. Postdoctoral appointees at Washington University receive a starting salary based on the NIH NRSA guidelines and a generous benefit package. Complete information on the benefit package is located on the WUSM Human Resources Benefits Website ( http://medschoolhr.wustl.edu ). The St. Louis area combines the attractions of a major city with family-friendly and affordable lifestyle opportunities ( http://www.stlouis.com/ ).
Qualifications: Candidates with prior expertise in spinal cord injury models are particularly encouraged to apply. We are also welcoming candidates with fluorescence microscopy/live imaging techniques and/or molecular/cellular neurobiology. Successful candidates may either participate in ongoing projects and/or develop new independent lines of research related to axon regeneration.
