[Employment] Postdoctoral Position in Retinal Development, University of Victoria, BC

[Bob Chow]

POSITIONS AVAILABLE 2007
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
 
Retina, Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics
 
A postdoctoral position is available in the Retinal and Early Eye
Development laboratory at the University of Victoria, British Columbia,
Canada. 
 
One of the major themes in our lab is to understand the mechanisms
underlying neuronal cell type diversity. A primary focus is on the
development of mouse retinal bipolar interneurons, which make up a
heterogeneous and functionally complex class of retinal interneurons
essential for receiving, processing and transmitting visual signals. We
employ a variety of cell and molecular approaches on transgenic and
knock-out mouse models.
 
Our lab is part of the Neuroscience group and Centre for Biomedical Research
at the University of Victoria. UVic is located on the southernmost tip of
the picturesque Vancouver Island and is a short trip to Vancouver and
Seattle.
 
Requirements: 
The candidate must have a PhD or MD/PhD with a strong background in cell and
molecular biology. Hands-on experience with animal models is highly desired
and knowledge in ocular or neurobiology and/or developmental biology is a
plus.
