Post-doctoral Position in Neuroimmune Interactions: The Team “Serotonin, Microglia, Plasticity and Pathologies” at the Institut du Fer à Moulin in Paris is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join an exciting project exploring the role of microglia in synaptic plasticity.
Post-doctoral Position in Neuroimmune Interactions and Memory
Designation: Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Research Area: Neuroimmune Interactions and Memory
Location: Paris, France
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in Neuroscience or related field
- Expertise in transcriptomic analyses and mouse studies
- Creative with a strong team spirit
Job Description: The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting research on the regulation of synaptic plasticity by microglia, with a focus on the impact of the serotonergic tone. This involves implementing large-scale transcriptomic approaches combined with behavioral experiments. The project aims to unravel the mechanisms through which microglia influence synaptic plasticity during memory formation, particularly in conditions where the serotonergic tone is altered. The position is funded for 1.5 years, starting early 2024, with opportunities for additional funding through encouraged applications.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit the following documents to Anne Roumier at anne.roumier@inserm.fr:
- CV
- Brief description of skills and experience
- Publication list
- Contact details (names and email addresses) of two referees
Last Date for Apply: Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
