OPEN POSITIONS
The Shepherd Laboratory is currently looking for scientists to join our team! If you are passionate about discovery science and innovation in a thriving neuroscience community, we want you to join our team.
Postdoctoral Associate
We are seeking postdocs that have expertise/interest in the following projects:
1. RNA biology – projects in the lab include RNA trafficking (intra- and inter-cellular).
2. RNA-protein interactions – we are interested in small non-coding RNAs that are encapsulated by Arc capsids and other Gag-like genes.
3. Synaptic engram – we have new molecular tools to interrogate the synaptic basis of learning and memory. In vivo imaging and optogenetic expertise would especially be useful for this project.
4. The role of the 3D genome in memory – Projects are in collaboration with Dr. Jennifer Cremins. In vivo imaging, mouse behavior, and optogenetic expertise would especially be useful for this project.
