Postdoctoral Fellow - Retinal Ganglion Cell and Optic Nerve Biology

National Eye Institute, NIH

A post-doctoral position in neuroscience is available in the Section of Retinal Ganglion Cell Biology, LRCMB, NEI, NIH. The section’s research interest focuses on the neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells in different optic neuropathies including glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness. We are utilizing multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular biology, electrophysiology, biochemistry, cell biology, and proteomics. Specific areas of investigation are: 1) small extracellular vesicles as a tool for neuroprotection, 2) secreted components of AMPA receptors and retinal disorders. This work provides insight into the neuroprotective role of several identified secreted proteins, miRNAs, and signaling pathways in optic neuropathies and the larger area on neurodegeneration.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree with less than three years of postdoctoral experience. Applicants should have the ability to carry out independent research in relevant areas, a strong interest in interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative research. Hands-on training in molecular biology, electrophysiology, biochemistry or cell biology with experience in animal handling is preferred.

NIH offers excellent salary and health care packages to its trainees and has consistently been ranked among the best places to work for postdoctoral fellows.

NIH is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs.
