Purdue University, a leading research and education institute based in Indiana, is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the fields of neurotrauma and neurodegenerative diseases research. The position will involve working on research projects seeking to understand the pathological mechanisms of motor and sensory deficits. This includes motor dysfunction result from ionic channel abnormalities, and pathological behavior stemming from local physical and chemical disturbances. The electrophysiological expression of various channels of interest will be assessed at levels of dorsal root ganglion, spinal cord, and brain, using both in vitro and in vivo rodent models. The technologies involved will be mainly extracellular or intracellular potential recording and imaging isolated tissues and neurons.
Job requirements
Minimum requirement for the position
