The laboratory aims to identify and characterize factors that direct the assembly and maintenance of neural circuits, and to understand how the organization of these circuits controls specific behaviors. These issues are examined through the analysis of circuits in the cerebellum important for coordination, movement and motor learning. We are seeking researchers with interests in neuroscience, molecular and developmental biology who wish to explore mechanisms underlying the development of cerebellar circuits using genetics, imaging, and/or behavioral approaches.
Principal Responsibilities:
Utilize and develop anatomical, genetics, imaging and behavioral assays to characterize circuits involved in motor behaviors and learning. Assess consequences of genetically manipulating components of cerebellar circuits in vivo and in vitro using mice.
Preferred Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Physiology or the equivalent. Experience with biochemistry, imaging, molecular biology, murine genetics, and/or murine behavioral analysis.
