Postdoctoral Researcher in Circadian Rhythms & Alzheimer's Disease

Mentor: Dr. Karen Gamble, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurobiology

Postdoc Position in Circadian Rhythms & Alzheimer’s Disease

A fully funded postdoctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dr. Karen Gamble (http://scholars.uab.edu/display/klgamble) to study circadian dysregulation in Alzheimer’s Disease. Specifically, this project is focused on the basis of circadian variation in AD-related hyperexcitability and interneuron dysfunction, in collaboration with Dr. Erik Roberson. Our lab is funded by multiple NIH grants and is affiliated with the highly collaborative Comprehensive Neuroscience Center (https://www.uab.edu/medicine/cnc/) and the Center for Neurodegeneration and Experimental Therapeutics (CNET) at UAB (www.uab.edu/cnet).

Candidates must possess a Ph.D. or equivalent degree and should be highly motivated, creative, and productive, with excellent oral and written communication skills and a strong publication record. Experience with mouse models is important, and expertise with mouse behavior, chemogenetics, optogenetics, or electrophysiology is particularly desirable. A prior background in chronobiology is also desired but not required.

Please send your CV and statement of research interests to Dr. Gamble (klgamble uab.edu). The names of three references would be helpful, but references will not be contacted until after initial discussions with the candidate.
