POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN NEUROSCIENCE

|
The Song Lab at University of Pennsylvania/Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is seeking creative and dedicated individuals with a strong passion for research, curiosity and self-motivation. Our lab offers an exciting opportunity to work in a closely collaborative, inspiring and dynamic environment. The long-term goal of the Song lab is to elucidate the cellular and molecular basis governing the formation, maintenance and function of neural circuits under physiological and pathological conditions. We are particularly interested in understanding how nervous system copes with injury and are developing strategies to promote neuroregeneration. We have established Drosophila injury models, are performing genetic screens to identify pathways regulating regeneration, are testing the evolutionary conservation of the novel regeneration regulators combining with mammalian injury models, and focus on targeting both the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. With a background in neural development, neural circuits and behavior, fly and mouse genetics, injury and neurodegeneration, and tumor models, our lab offers a unique skillset to achieve this goal. Our lab is focused on three main themes: 1. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying neural degeneration and regeneration 2. Developing fly models for studying human neurodevelopmental disorders 3. Developing fly models for studying tumorigenesis Visit our lab website for more details https://songlab.research.chop.edu. Here is a shortlist of our recent publications: 1.
