Job Description

A Postdoctoral Position is available in the lab of Dr. Zhong-Wei Zhang to study brain development and developmental brain disorders. Dr. Zhang’s lab is interested in functional development of neuronal circuits in the brain. The areas of focus are: 1) developmental refinement of excitatory synapses (PNAS, 2013; J. Neurosci. 2011, 2008; J. Physiol. 2011, 2006); 2) neuronal mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorders (J. Neurosci. 2014; J. Neurophysiol. 2010). We use a variety of experimental approaches, including mouse genetics, cellular electrophysiology, anatomy, optogenetics, and behavioral analysis to study development and function of excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the thalamus and neocortex.

The Jackson Laboratory (http://www.jax.org) in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA, offers a unique research and training environment characterized by scientific collaboration, unparalleled mouse resources, and outstanding core services within a spectacular setting adjacent to Acadia National Park. The Laboratory’s mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.

Candidates should have a recent PhD in neuroscience with extensive experience in neurophysiology. The incumbent will have ample opportunity to learn about mouse genetics, molecular biology, and behavioral analysis.
