[visionlist] Postdoctoral/ Research Associate Position in Retinal Neurobiology

[Stuart Mangel]

A Postdoctoral/Research Associate position is available to study  
retinal neurobiology in the lab of Dr. Stuart Mangel at the Ohio State  
University College of Medicine.  The Postdoc/ Research Associate will  
be able to work on one of two ongoing NIH-funded research projects.  
One project is investigating how the circadian (24-hour) clock in the  
retina modulates cellular and molecular processes and chemical and  
electrical synaptic transmission in the day and night (e.g. see  
Ribelayga, Cao and Mangel, 2008, Neuron). The other project is  
studying the cellular, subcellular (e.g. ion and neurotransmitter  
transporters; GABA and ACh receptors), and neural network mechanisms  
that underlie 1) the detection of the direction in which objects move  
(e.g. see Gavrikov et al., 2006, PNAS), and 2) how light and dark  
adaptation modulate the receptive field surround. We employ a  
multidisciplinary approach for these projects, utilizing genetically  
modified animal models, and electrophysiological, cell/molecular,  
neurochemical, anatomical, and computational techniques.



We seek a highly motivated individual with a Ph.D. in neuroscience or  
a related basic science discipline for this position. Previous  
training in electrophysiology or immunocytochemistry is desirable, but  
not required. Salary is competitive with respect to NIH recommended  
levels, and benefits are included. The starting date of the position  
is flexible. A minimum commitment of 2 years is desired. This position  
represents a unique opportunity for career development, for learning a  
variety of techniques to study brain function, and for interactions  
with other Ohio State University investigators.



To apply, please e-mail a single pdf file that contains 1) a 1-2 page  
letter that describes your research interests and experience, 2) your  
curriculum vitae, and 3) the names of three references, including  
their contact information, to Dr. Stuart Mangel (mangel.1 at  
osu.edu).  Alternatively, application materials can be mailed or faxed
