STANFORD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE: Postdoctoral fellowships focused on
the cellular neurophysiology, development and anatomy of neocortical and
thalamic neurons and networks. Issues include reorganization of membrane
properties, receptors and circuits after injury; axonal sprouting;
presynaptic modulatory mechanisms; pharmacology and physiology of GABAA
receptors; and mechanisms of epileptogenesis. Techniques include those of
whole cell and cell-attached patch clamp recordings in "thin" slices and
dissociated cells, intracellular labeling, analysis of channel and whole
cell currents, immunocytochemistry and cellular neuropharmacology.
Eligibility: U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Candidates should have
an M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and predoctoral or postdoctoral
experience in one of the above areas. Salary: NIH scale plus supplement.
