    <![CDATA[Postdoctoral Research Fellows
Northwestern University
Chicago, Illinois, United States

Post-doctoral research fellow positions are available to pursue a detailed genetic interrogation of host genes involved in multiprotein virus-host interactions that regulate HIV infection. These projects will use a combination of bioinformatic and genetic approaches, and next-generation technologies to examine the effects of genetic polymorphism in cellular factors identified by genome-wide analyses for which a plausible biological mechanism of action for the gene was found. Genetic epidemiological studies will seek to determine the genetic basis for the variation observed in human populations in the natural history of HIV infection. Candidates are sought with prior experience in statistical and computational genetics and molecular biology. Preference will be given to candidates with programming and bioinformatics skills. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled or the search is closed. Please send curriculum vitae and three references to: Prof. Steven Wolinsky, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Lurie 9-200, 303 E Superior, Chicago, IL 60611 or via email to: s-wolinsky@northwestern.edu Northwestern University is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.

    <![CDATA[The Cell and Molecular Physiology Department at Loyola University Chicago School of Medicine is looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral research fellow to study molecular mechanisms of muscular dystrophies and associated cardiomyopathy. Our previous work identified two mechanisms that muscle cell membrane is protected from stress and disruption of these protective mechanisms leads to the development of muscular dystrophy and/or cardiomyopathy (see Han et al., J Clin Invest 2007; Han et al., Curr Opin Cell Biol, 2007; Han et al., PNAS 2009). We continue to explore the molecular mechanisms for the maintenance of muscle membrane integrity and identify novel proteins that are involved using various techniques including gene targeting, two-photon confocal microscopy, histology and FRET.  Qualified candidates must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in physiology, cell biology, biochemistry or a related field.  A strong background in the area of confocal imaging and genetic mouse models is also desired.  Applicants should email CV, names of references and contact information to:  renhan@lumc.edu.

    <![CDATA[Postdoctoral Scholar in Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Neocortical Seizures

A postdoctoral position is available for research and training on the mechanisms of neocortical seizures. The goal is to identify the mechanisms that normally restrict the spatial spread of neural activity but that, when damaged, allows the propagation of neural activity which results in partial seizures. Studies will be carried out in a slice preparation taken from both human tissue and brain tissue from an animal model of partial seizures. The techniques we use include: electrophysiological measurement of neural activity and flavoprotein autofluorescence imaging.

The postdoc will work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of neurobiologists, neurologists, computational neuroscientists, and mathematicians, although the work will be primarily neurobiology. Candidates must have a recent PhD in neuroscience. An appropriate combination of education, certifications, and/or relevant work experience will be considered. Salary will follow NIH guidelines commensurate with training and experience. Please send a letter describing research experience/interest, CV, and contact information of three references electronically to Wim van Drongelen at cdeluca@peds.bsd.uchicago.edu, or by mail to Wim van Drongelen, PhD, KCBD Room 4124, 900 E. 57th Street, Chicago, Illinois  60637.
