postdoctoral research associate - St. Louis, MO , USA, United States - Washington University
Description
Job DescriptionPosition Summary
The Williams Lab is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to study neuronal regeneration and preservation in retinal mouse models of injury and disease. This project will examine how retinal ganglion cells are affected by trauma and degenerative diseases at the subcellular level using in vivo imaging techniques. Responsibilities of the researcher will include but are not limited to: establishment of adaptive optics module to operate on existing 2-photon microscope for transpupillary imaging in mice; examining activity of genetically encoded biosensors localizes to organelles; imaging alterations in retinal axons, dendrites and glial processes in response to neurodegeneration; data collection and analysis; preparation of presentations and manuscripts.
The Williams lab is a research group at the Washington University School of Medicine. Our research goals are focused on identifying fundamental mechanisms of neuronal loss to better understand why neurons die or axons are damaged to ultimately establish new strategies for the preservation or restoration of neural tissue. We use multiple approaches, but focus on mouse models of retinal ganglion cell neurodegeneration, in vivo microscopy, AAV mediated gene delivery and knockout, along with transcriptomic and immunohistological analyses.
The postdoctoral researcher will have the opportunity to work with the broad Neuroscience community at Washington University School of Medicine. Our lab has established collaborations with investigators specializing in electrophysiology, large volume electron microscopy and other areas to support independent research projects established by postdoctoral scholars. In addition to high-quality research facilities, career and professional development training for postdoctoral researchers is provided through the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs, Career Center, Teaching Center, and campus groups.
