Job Details

A post-doctoral fellow position is available in a highly collaborative research group that focuses on molecular mechanisms of axon growth in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The Twiss lab is interested in the biology of the axon that underlies neuronal growth, function, and regeneration, particularly on how axonal mRNA transport, translation and stability contribute to axon growth and the signaling mechanisms underlie these (Nat Commun 22, 3358; Molec Cell Proteomics 17, 2091; J Cell Sci 134, jcs251967; J Cell Biol 218, 1871; Curr Biol 30, 4882;  Commun Biol 5, 672; Nucl Acids Res 50, 5772). Experiments will use a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches with cellular, molecular and biochemical methods, largely focusing on RNA/protein interactions that modulate axon growth. A PhD or equivalent in Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Biology or closely related field is required. Experience in neurobiology or RNA biology is preferred, particularly previous work using a combination of primary cultures and in vivo models.

Applications along with CV and names of three references should be submitted online to included link.  For questions or further information please contact Jeff Twiss directly by email (twiss@mailbox.sc.edu).
