Description
Position: Research Investigator at the Laboratory of Dr. Lois Weisman
The research team led by Dr. Weisman is seeking a Research Investigator to carry out and oversee investigations on Retromer- and Retriever-dependent receptor recycling at synaptic locations, focusing on pathways influenced by synaptic activity and phosphoinositide signaling lipids. You will utilize a range of techniques spanning biochemistry, cell biology, advanced microscopy, and patch-clamp electrophysiology to shed light on the regulation of these complexes at synapses, as well as identify the synaptic proteins involved in each pathway. Your work will provide valuable insights into endocytic recycling at postsynaptic sites, contributing to groundbreaking discoveries in the field.
The **Life Sciences Institute** embarks on a mission to explore biological processes on a global scale, showcasing a vibrant community of curious minds equipped with cutting-edge tools to facilitate breakthroughs.
