A post-doctoral position in neuroscience is available in the Section of Retinal Ganglion Cell Biology, LRCMB, NEI, NIH. The section’s research interest focuses on the neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells in different neuropathies including glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness. We are utilizing multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular biology, electrophysiology, biochemistry, cell biology, and proteomics. Specific areas of investigation are: 1) small extracellular vesicles as a tool for neuroprotection, 2) secreted components of AMPA receptors and retinal disorders.
To apply, send a CV, contact information for 3 references, and brief statement of research interests and experience to Dr. Stanislav Tomarev (tomarevs@nei.nih.gov).
Qualifications
