MIT: Postdoctoral Positions

MIT: Posdoctoral Positions

Yanik Lab: www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik

Description
Postdoctoral positions are available in Yanik Lab at MIT (www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik). We are interested in:
(I) development of novel neuro-technologies,
(II) discovery of genetic pathways and drug candidates targeting neural degeneration and regeneration using both in vivo and in vitro high-throughput methods, and
(III) translational research using human embronic stem cell (hESC) derived neurons.

We did the first study of neural regeneration in C. elegans using femtosecond laser microsurgery (Nature 432, 822 (2004)). We also recently demonstrated the first on-chip high-throughput small-animal screening technology using microfluidics (PNAS, 104, 13891 (2007)). We are currently developing powerful in vivo and in vitro technologies/assays for translational research using hES cell derived neurons.

Application
Candidates with experience in mammalian and/or C. elegans neurobiology and/or engineering/physics/chemistry disciplines are sought. Good communication skills and willingness to work in a highly multidisciplinary and friendly team with other engineers, biochemists and biologists are expected. The postdoctoral positions will be supported through NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, and Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering as well as other funds. Duration of positions is flexible. Please send a brief letter describing research experience/interest, CV, and contact information of three references to Dr. Yanik, Asst. Prof., Electrical Engineering, MIT. Dr. Yanik will be at the 2007 Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego in early November.

Columbia University: Faculty Position in Neural Engineering

Description & Requirement
The Department of Biomedical Engineering in the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant, Associate or Full Professor level in Neural Engineering. Level of appointment depends on qualification.

Specific areas of interest include: neuroimaging, neural tissue engineering, neuromorphic engineering, computational neural modeling and brain machine interfaces. Successful candidates must demonstrate an ability to develop a world-class research program, be capable of obtaining competitive external research funding, and participate in and be committed to outstanding teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The candidate should have a doctorate in Biomedical Engineering or a related discipline.

Application
Applicants should send a complete curriculum vitae, three publication reprints, a statement of research interests, a statement of teaching experience and philosophy, and names and contact information for four references to Professor Paul Sajda by February 1, 2008. The search will remain open until the position has been filled. Columbia University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
