Postdoctoral Fellow

We are inviting talented researchers with a PhD or MD degree to apply as post-doctoral fellows to our NIH funded laboratory at the Dept. Neuroscience & Regenerative Medicine at Augusta University in the historic town of Augusta, GA. The main focus of the research in the laboratory of Dr. Deak is cognitive impairment with aging and various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and epileptic encephalopathy. State-of-the-art methods are used to develop new models of these disorders and to study possible therapeutic targets from the molecular to cellular and neuronal network levels. Best approaches are validated in behavioral assays using transgenic rodent models. We are a well-established team with multiple collaborations, both locally and inter/nationally. Expertise in electrophysiology is preferred. Please apply online at https://www.augusta.edu/hr/jobs/university/ for job opening #218990; and include a CV, application letter with goals and motivation (max. 2 pages) and names of three references along with any reference letters you may have on hand. Evaluation of candidates will start on September 15, 2020 and continue until position is filled.
