Postdoctoral Research Opportunity – Basal Ganglia Circuit Function and Dysfunction
Professor Mark Bevan in the Department of Neuroscience at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine invites applications from postdoctoral scientists with expertise or interest in electrophysiology, modern circuit interrogation approaches, and/or mouse behavior to study basal ganglia circuit function and its dysregulation in models of Parkinson’s disease. This position is multi-year, comes with competitive salary, benefits, and relocation, and is available until filled. Extensive training and mentorship will be provided.
The Bevan laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and employs a range of techniques including in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiology, neuroanatomy at the light and electron microscopic levels, optogenetics, chemogenetics, 2-photon imaging, and uncaging, molecular profiling and manipulation, computational modeling, and mouse behavior.
Applicants should have a PhD in the life sciences, physics, or biomedical engineering, preferably with research experience in neuroscience. If interested, please email a brief cover letter describing your career path and future goals, an NIH biosketch or CV and contact information for two to three references to Mark Bevan at m-bevan@northwestern.edu.
