Postdoc Wanted

The SEPS lab was recently awarded a 5-year R01 grant to study mTOR signaling in primary neurons, which differs substantially from that observed in immortalized cultured cells. We are seeking an exceptionally talented and motivated postdoc to lead a large collaboration of SCRI and UW researchers as we advance our understanding of this important signaling system. The successful candidate will work closely with a technician and graduate/undergraduate students to plan and supervise several parallel lines of investigation involving altered signal transduction in autism, using genetic mouse models and primary neuronal cell cultures. The candidate will be expected to independently move projects forward, write papers, and apply for F32 or equivalent grants. The ideal candidate will have the ability to perform precise wetlab work and complex bioinformatics analyses using MatLab and R programming. Prior experience in molecular or behavioral biology, and/or working with mouse models of neuropsychiatric disease is a plus. Creative, big-picture thinking and dedication academic research are essential. Please email a cover letter and CV to seps@uw.edu for consideration.
