A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Dr. Filippo Rijli studying topographic neuronal circuit formation in the mouse hindbrain. The main focus is on the involvement of homeobox genes in pre-natal and post-natal development of somatosensory (whisker-to-barrel), auditory, and precerebellar circuits (e.g. Oury et al. Science 313:1408-13, 2006; Pasqualetti et al. J Neurosci 27:9670-81, 2007; Geisen et al. PLoS Biol 6:e142, 2008). Currently available projects include: (1) epigenetic regulation of precerebellar neuron migration; (2) molecular mechanisms of tonotopy in the developing auditory system; (3) analysis of neural activity patterns by voltage-sensitive dye recording. Candidates with expertise in primary and slice neuronal culture methods, imaging of fluorescently labelled neurons and axonal tracts, optical recording of neural activity and/or epigenetic molecular profiling are encouraged to apply.
The FMI, part of the Novartis Research Foundation, is an international biomedical research centre with 300 members pursuing fundamental research in the areas of Neurobiology, Cell Growth and Signalling, and Epigenetics (www.fmi.ch). A competitive salary and access to state-of-the-art research facilities is provided. The FMI is situated in Basel, Switzerland, a city offering an outstanding scientific and cultural environment in the centre of Europe.
A CV, contact details of three references and a summary of research interests should be submitted by e-mail to Dr. Filippo Rijli (filippo.rijli@fmi.ch), Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, Maulbeerstrasse 66, CH-4058 Basel, Switzerland
