POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
An NIH-funded postdoctoral fellowship is available to study neuroendocrine
function during aging at the cellular and molecular level. The postdoctoral
fellow can choose to develop and work on one or more of the following
projects: (1) mechanisms by which estrogen enhances neuron survival during
aging and after injury; (2) function of estrogen in coupling circadian
information to the reproductive axis in females; (3) mechanisms regulating the
decline of neurotransmitter and neuropeptide expression during aging; (4) role
of neuron-astrocyte interactions in maintaining neuroendocrine and circadian
function in the aging brain. The fellow will have the opportunity to learn
and utilize a variety of cellular and molecular methods that are necessary to
pursue these projects. Interactions with postdocs, graduate students and
faculty members of the Training Programs in Molecular and Cellular Aspects of
Brain Aging and Reproductive Sciences with further enrich the training
experience.
