- West Virginia University Research Corporation is seeking applications for a Post Doctoral Fellow with the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute, Department of Neuroscience
- The laboratory of Martin Hruska, Ph. D., in the Department of Neuroscience at West Virginia University and the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute in Morgantown, WV, is seeking a highly motivated and creative post-doctoral researcher for the NIH-funded position related to structural and molecular mechanisms of synaptic remodeling during neurodegeneration and following an injury such as stroke.
- We have taken advantage of state-of-the-art stimulated-emission depletion (STED) super-resolution microscopy to examine how pre- and post-synaptic molecules are linked across the synaptic cleft and how this exquisite nano-organization changes with the structural plasticity or with diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
- To this end, we also focus on building tools and reagents, including CRISPR DNA editing, that allows us to track synaptic molecules in real time.
- We seek highly self-motivated and creative post-doctoral researchers, particularly those who recently acquired Ph. D. or M.D. Candidates should have in-depth knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, high-resolution imaging, and electrophysiology.
