Postdoctoral Position in Zebrafish Neural Circuit Development and Function - Georgia Regents University

The Pan lab at Georgia Regents University is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study brain connectivity and development in zebrafish. We have recently developed a viral trans-synaptic labeling method in zebrafish, which enables whole-brain, single-cell resolution examination of neuronal connectivity in an intact vertebrate organism. We are interested in how connectivity is established during development, how perturbed connectivity leads to disease states (e.g. autism, Down syndrome), and mapping the neural circuitry underlying perception and behavior.

An ideal candidate will have a recent PhD degree and a background in developmental biology, neuroscience, or virology. Hands-on skills with viral vectors and confocal/two-photon microscopy are strongly preferred. Please e-mail cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Albert Pan at ypan@gru.edu.
