Postdoctoral Fellow in Auditory Neuroscience

["Kyle T. Nakamoto" <knakamoto@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the principal investigators, that I collaborate with, at my
institute is looking for a postdoc. I thought it would be worthwhile to
post the ad. Several UK postdoc have gone to NEOMED now and overall have
had an excellent time.

We are looking for candidates with a doctorate or postdoctoral training in
neuroscience, particularly electrophysiology plus behavior testing, and
interested in studying hearing disorders such as age-related hearing loss
(prebycusis) or tinnitus.
 

We are a well-established and growing research team studying age-related
changes of the nervous system, with a strong focus on age-related synaptic
changes which may contribute to functional declines both in the peripheral
(age-related hearing loss) and central nervous system (tinnitus). One of
our funded projects is to develop novel therapies for presbycusis, and we
also have one ongoing funded project studying tinnitus in our transgenic
mouse models with both functional and molecular approaches. Our team
includes two principle investigators with backgrounds in neuroscience and
molecular biology. Within our Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology, ten
investigators are working in the area of auditory neuroscience.
 

The ideal applicant will support current and planned experiments in
presbycusis and tinnitus, and also will want to develop his/her own
research interests. Applicants should have excellent skills in scientific
writing, experimental design, data analysis, and management of a research
team.

We like to think that the intellectual environment of our group, and the
many colleagues with which we have close interactions, are as exciting as
the university where our work takes place. We look forward to hearing from
you. To be considered for this opportunity, please email directly to Dr.
Jianxin Bao at jbao@xxxxxxxxxx.
