Postdoctoral Research Positions in Two Postdoctoral Positions Available in Neuronal Regeneration - University of Notre Dame

Department of Biological Sciences and Center for Zebrafish Research

University of Notre Dame 

Two postdoctoral research positions are available to study retinal regeneration in zebrafish (Conner et al. (2014) J. Neurosci. 34: 14403-14419; Nelson et al. (2013) J. Neurosci. 33:6524-6539). We identified a number of different signaling pathways that regulate the regeneration response and guide the neuronal progenitor cells to differentiate into retinal neurons. While we are looking for talented individuals who are experienced in a wide variety of fields, individuals with a strong background in either molecular biology and/or the CRISPR genome editing system are particularly encouraged to apply. More experienced individuals may be considered to be hired at the non-tenure track Research Assistant Professor level. The positions are funded by both a NIH grant and a large annual budget provided by the University. Opportunities also exist for the successful candidate to gain some teaching experience, if desired. Candidates who are highly motivated, enthusiastic, learn quickly, have a strong work ethic, interested in working in a collaborative environment, and possessing a high degree of independence are encouraged to apply. 

Interested candidates should Email a cv, a cover letter stating your research interests and professional goals,and a description of your previous research experience to Dr. David Hyde (dhyde@nd.edu). Candidates should also arrange three letters of recommendation to be Emailed directly to David Hyde.

For further information, please contact Dr. David Hyde (dhyde@nd.edu or 574-631-8054).
