Postdoctoral Fellow

A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Rowan Lab at Emory University. We offer a nationally competitive salary and a world-class and growing Neuroscience environment.

The Rowan Lab is interested in cellular and molecular mechanisms in neurons which allow these incredibly diverse cells to perform the wide variety of signaling functions necessary for learning and cognition. We employ a multifaceted approach to answer our questions, including 2-photon imaging and other advanced imaging techniques, novel AAV virus/gene therapy development, novel CRISPR techniques, electrophysiology, optogenetics, cell-type-specific proteomics, and more.

The successful candidate will explore the identity and functional distribution of ion channels and receptors in dendrites of different cortical neuron types. This project will help us formulate a more complete understanding of the unique roles of pyramidal neurons in different layers of sensory cortex. The candidate will have the opportunity to develop a unique research program during their training.

At Emory and in our lab, we are committed to helping trainees develop their writing and grant development skills.
