    Description

    Postdoctoral Position: Molecular Mechanisms and Neural Circuits of Fear Memory, Maternal and Social Behavior

    Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA, laboratory of Dr. Gleb Shumyatsky.

    A key question in research on memory and behavior is how the brain responds to environmental stimuli and a major challenge is the heterogeneity of brain cells and neural networks. We study activity-dependent molecular processes in the amygdala-, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex-associated networks at the level of neural circuits and single cells using mouse genetics. Our focus is on fear memory, anxiety, social and maternal behavior as well as autism- and depressive-like behaviors in a mouse.

    Our recent work has identified dynamic changes in microtubules during memory encoding (Uchida et al., Nature Communications 2014; Martel et al., Journal of Neuroscience We also described epigenetic modifications and new gene targets of CREB-dependent transcription following learning (Uchida et al., Cell Reports More recently, we have found a molecular pathway regulating dopamine function during fear extinction (Morishita et al, bioRxiv, doi: ).

    The successful candidate will have a recent PhD in molecular biology or neuroscience and a track record of first class science demonstrated by first author peer-reviewed scientific articles. Expected experience is in molecular biology (strong background in cloning, mutagenesis, immunoprecipitation, RNAseq and mouse genetics), neural circuits and mouse behavior.

    Please send your CV, a brief statement of research interests and three references to

    Rutgers is located in central New Jersey, one hour away from New York City and Philadelphia, and enjoys a diverse international academic and cultural community.
