Postdoctoral Research Associate - Severi Lab

The Severi Lab (http://kristenseveri.wixsite.com/severilab) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is soliciting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position focused on the neural circuits which underlie locomotion in the larval zebrafish. Dr. Severi’s research combines the power of a simple, transparent, genetically-accessible nervous system with optical techniques, electrophysiology, and behavior, to test the functions of specific neural circuits involved in the control of locomotion. Our goal is to understand the control of locomotion with cellular-level specificity, and to develop a backbone for future studies of disease and injury. The lab is a part of the Federated Department of Biological Sciences which spans the neighboring institutions of NJIT and Rutgers-Newark, located in the greater New York City area. Potential candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Kristen Severi to discuss potential projects and learn more (severi@njit.edu). Applications will be reviewed as they are received. A salaried position is guaranteed for the first 1-2 years and applicants who are deemed competitive for fellowships are preferred.

Please check periodically for future opportunities.

Applicants should apply online at NJIT's Human Resources website: http://hr.njit.edu/careers/
