JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: The Department of Neurosurgery
is seeking a highly-motivated candidate for a post-doctoral fellow
position to work in translational research investigating the development
of epilepsy and neuronal plasticity in a mouse model of temporal lobe
epilepsy. Specific investigative aims include, i) genetic dysregulation
in the temporal lobe, ii) structural plasticity during the development
of epilepsy, iii) electrographic recording and stimulation of the brain
in early epileptogenesis. Some of the techniques used in this project
include animal stereotactic surgery, behavioral epilepsy scoring,
microdissection, brain-slicing, DNA/RNA isolation, PCR, genotyping,
whole animal electrocorticography, confocal microscopy. Transgenic mice
lines will be used for scientific inquiry, future lines of investigation
may include human post-surgical tissue. The candidate will join a
vibrant neuroscience community with potential for additional
opportunities in clinical and translational research. Potential
candidates must have recently completed a neuroscience PhD or at least
2-years of postdoctoral training utilizing mouse models, and have
experience with molecular biology. Application materials must provide a
synopsis of mouse-related work completed, and list direct publications
from mouse-related laboratory work. Primary Functions Plan, design and
execute complex research studies, procedures and protocols. Participate
in discovery projects. Coordinate research study activities; lead and
manage projects. Oversee organization, synthesis and analysis of data
and findings. Prepare scientific reports, outcome findings and
scientific manuscripts. Participate in meetings with principle
investigator and research staff in which you will evaluate/interpret the
validity of data, develop methodologies, and design and evaluate lab
procedures. Maintain supplies, may require negotiation with vendors, and
track purchase orders. May oversee the work of laboratory personnel
including training and development as well as daily work direction,
delegation and establishing priorities. Knowledge - Skills - Abilities
Required knowledge: PhD in neuroscience using mouse models, molecular
biology, cell biology, structural biology, developmental biology or
related disciplines, data interpretation, data analysis, statistics,
documentation, records management, data utilization, complex problem
solving, critical thinking, resource management, and
writing/presentation skills Required skills and abilities: mouse
handling and husbandry skills required, able to work independently and
