McMahon Lab, Post doc position: Post-Doctoral Position, Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, Vanderbilt University NIH-funded post-doctoral position available immediately to study the cellular and molecular basis of serotonergic neuron function in the brain. The project focuses on the influence of serotonergic gene networks, including receptors, transporters and circadian clock genes, on the development and physiology of raphe serotonergic neurons in mouse mutant and reporter models. Approaches include electrophysiology, real-time gene expression imaging and behavioral analysis. The position is available for three years. The position requires a PhD or MD with previous training in neuroscience. Previous training in brain slice electrophysiology or circadian neurobiology is a plus, but not required. The position is funded by the Vanderbilt Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, established through funding from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. The Center supports research and training to elucidate gene, protein and cellular networks through which serotonin modulates brain development, signaling, plasticity and mental illness.  Extensive use is made of novel recombinant and transgenic mouse lines that provide for an unprecedented visualization and manipulation of serotonin signaling in vivo, as well as opportunities to craft important disease models. The Vanderbilt Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research currently supports the projects of five internationally recognized investigators at Vanderbilt and one at Case Western University.  Core laboratories offer state of the art technologies and research support to facilitate interactions among Conte investigators, program consultants and collaborators. The Center also has funds to support pilot investigations of junior investigators. The Vanderbilt neuroscience community is extensive with more than 300 investigators in more than 50 departments, centers and institutes offering an outstanding environment for in-depth training and research in neuroscience. To apply for this position please send a letter of interest, curriculum vitae and names of three references to Douglas G. McMahon, PhD, Professor of Biological Sciences and Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University, Department of Biological Sciences, VU Station B, Box 35-1634, Nashville, TN 37235-1634 You may learn more about the McMahon lab and research at his lab’s website.
