One fully funded postdoctoral position is immediately available to examine the genetic,epigenetic, and chemical factors regulating neurogenesis, gliogenesis, and neural regenerationafter degeneration and traumatic injuries. Our lab has a long standing interest in neural stemcells and adult neurogenesis. It is well equipped for molecular and cellular biology andelectrophysiology for both in vitro and in vivo studies. The successful candidate will alsobenefit from exceptional core facilities and a very collaborative environment. UT Southwesternis the home of 6 Nobel Laureates, 23 members of the National Academy of Sciences, and 19members of the National Academy of Medicine.Self-motivated individuals with a Ph.D. or equivalent advanced degree are encouraged toapply. The ideal candidate must have a solid publication record and evidence of excellent skillsin molecular and cellular neuroscience. Previous experience with stem cell biology, histology,lenti- or retro-viruses, neuronal culture, electrophysiology, or neural injury mouse models ishighly preferred. Salary is competitive and includes benefits. Applicants should submit aresume and contact information of three references to:Chun-Li Zhang, Ph.D.W. W.
