Postdoc Position in Super-resolution Imaging of Synaptic Function at the Washington University School of Medicine
Project Overview: Mechanisms and regulation of synaptic transmission in healthy and disease conditions. We are particularly focusing on the activity-dependent processes in presynaptic terminals and their role in synaptic plasticity and information processing.
Goal is to link deregulation in synaptic function and plasticity with the impairments in information processing in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Fragile X Syndrome and autism
Requirements:
- Qualified applicants are expected to hold a PhD degree in biophysics, physics, biomedical engineering, or neuroscience
