    • Develop assays to identify and evaluate recycling pathways and surface proteins in neurons
    • Utilize microscopy and imaging to study the regulation of synaptic activity
    • Conduct patch-clamp electrophysiology to probe the impact on synaptic function
    • Provide guidance to lab members, contribute to manuscripts and grant applications, mentor junior researchers, and present work at scientific platforms

    Required Qualifications:

    • Ph.D. in a biology-related field
    • Minimum five years of postdoctoral experience in cell biology and neurosciences
    • Experience in investigating endomembrane trafficking at synapses
    • Experience supervising research activities of junior trainees

    Desired Qualifications:
