I am seeking an accomplished and motivated Ph.D. electrophysiologist to study the impact of dopamine transporter trafficking and regulation on dopaminergic neurotransmission. This is an exciting opportunity to integrate state-of-art optogenetic, chemogenetic and transgenic mouse approaches to link molecular mechanisms to synaptic physiology. Candidates will have a strong track record of productivity from their doctoral research, with excellent verbal and written skills, with expertise in ex vivo brain slice electrophysiological approaches. Interested candidates should forward a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three references via e-mail to:

I am seeking an accomplished and motivated Ph.D. neurobiologist with significant biochemistry expertise, to undertake an investigation identifying proteins in complex with the cocaine-sensitive transporter, and their role in dopamine transporter regulation and DA-dependent behaviors. This is an exciting opportunity to leverage cutting edge intersectional strategies that integrate proteomic and transgenic mouse approaches to link molecular mechanisms to behaviors. Candidates will have a strong track record of productivity from their doctoral research, with excellent verbal and written skills, with expertise in neurobiology and biochemistry.
