NIH funded position available immediately to identify respiratory pattern generating or chemosensory neurons in tadpole hindbrain using optical and electrophysiological methods. The projects overall aim is to understand the cellular basis of respiratory pattern generation in the tadpole and to determine how this changes during the transition from aquatic to aerial respiration. A background in some aspect of respiratory biology is required and experience in fluorescence imaging or electrophysiology is highly desirable.
This project is part of a collaboration between UCSF and the University of Alaska at Fairbanks via the NIH. Other projects in the Bickler laboratory currently involve post-hypoxia neurogenesis in hippocampal slice cultures, neurogenesis following dormancy in turtles, mechanistic basis for hypoxia tolerance in hippocampal neurons in hibernating mammals, role of TREK and TASK background potassium channel currents in hypothermia tolerance in neurons, neuroprotective signaling processes in anesthetic and hypoxic preconditioning of neurons, and neurotoxicity and neuroprotective actions of anesthetics. Send CV and 3 letters of reference to: Philip Bickler, MD, PhD (bicklerp@anesthesia.ucsf.edu), Dept. of Anesthesia, University of California, 513 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94143-0542.
“UCSF’s research successes span the range of medical science, from identification of disease-transmitting proteins called prions, to the creation of the original genetic engineering techniques, to discoveries about the nature of afflictions like AIDS and cancer. (See research achievements.) Triumphs like these have resulted in countless patents and numerous prestigious awards, including the three Nobel prizes awarded to UCSF scientists over the last 14 years.
Now, the research space at UCSF is set to nearly double upon completion of the Mission Bay campus. Extensive new laboratory space and research facilities will open the way for new research projects and the expansion of existing programs, accelerating the already dramatic pace of discovery at UCSF.” We invite you to join UCSF and be part of our successes!
