| Investigator: Sohyun Ahn, Ph.D.
Affiliation: Neural Stem Cell Biology
Position
Type: Postdoctoral
Fellowship
Labs Web Page: http://neuroscience.nih.gov/Lab.asp?Org_ID=542
Description:
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Unit on
Developmental Neurogenetics, Laboratory of Mammalian Genes and
Development, NICHD. One primary goal of my lab is to elucidate the
cellular and genetic mechanisms underpinning neural stem cell
specification and lineage decisions. Specifically, my lab is pursuing the
identification of novel gene(s) that mediate Sonic hedgehog (Shh)
signaling in neural stem cells. In addition, we are investigating how
Shh signaling regulates adult neural stem cells using the mouse as a
model system. A second goal of the lab is to investigate how newly
generated neurons, arising from adult stem cells, integrate into the
dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and contribute to neural circuit
formation and plasticity.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. with less than two years of
postdoctoral experience. Candidates with strong background in
neuroscience and training in molecular and cell biology techniques as
well as with animal models will be given first consideration.
Application Instructions:
Interested
applicants should send a letter of research interest, curriculum vitae,
