A Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate position is available in the Department of Neurosciences at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute to develop (1) a potential intervention to manage SCI pain based on the roles that the extracellular matrix plays in inflammation, blood brain barrier integrity and spine morphology during activity, aging, or spinal cord injury; and (2) a potential intervention by applying TMS to suppress seizure.
We are seeking a highly motivated, independent, creative, and interactive scientist. Applicants with a strong background in cellular biology, and neurosciences are encouraged to apply. Extensive experience in neuroanatomy, animal behavior, multi-photon microscopic analysis or related field is desirable. A strong work ethic, good English verbal and written communication skills and a Ph.D. and / or M.D. with laboratory experience in a relevant discipline are required.
This position offers an excellent work environment with competitive salary and benefits. Interested applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, brief description of research interests and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Lin via email at: linc@ccf.org
Contact: Ching-Yi Lin, Ph.D.A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available at the Cleveland Clinic in the Neuroinflammation group to study immune regulation during central nervous system autoimmunity in mice in a unique model of chronic progressive disease. Recent findings show that the astrocyte response to interferon gamma is essential to limiting immune mediated destruction. These studies examine astrocyte dependent regulation of autoreactive T cell function using a variety of KO mice, adoptive transfers and bone marrow chimeric mice. Mechanisms will be identified using gene profiling and verified with in vitro approaches using cultures of primary astrocytes. Individuals with either a strong background in cellular immunology or neuroscience, including in vitro culture systems, are encouraged to apply. The candidate must have received a Ph.D. and/or an M.D. degree.
The Lerner Research Institute, located on the Cleveland Clinic campus is an excellent integrated research community consisting of eleven departments and eleven centers. The Neuro-Inflammation Center bridges both Immunology and Neuroscience, encompassing faculty with diverse interests in developmental neuroscience, neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative disease as well as molecular and cellular immunology. The Cleveland Clinic is an equal opportunity employer.
To apply, please send your curriculum vitae and names and contact information for three references to:
