Are you an ambitious and creative neuroscientist with an interest in neurological and psychiatric disorders who would like to contribute to this important area in an intellectually stimulating, interdisciplinary academic environment?

Opportunity: Postdoctoral Scholarships in Disease-focused Neuroscience

The Mucke Lab has a long track record of trailblazing research contributions and of training leaders in this field. We are inviting applications from talented students and early postdocs with matching interests to join our highly interactive team of scientists at the Gladstone Institutes and UCSF in San Francisco.

Successful candidates will work directly with Dr. Lennart Mucke and become part of a collaborative group of dedicated scientists focusing on processes that cause cognitive disorders ranging from dementias to epileptic encephalopathies and autism spectrum disorders. We use rodent and tissue culture models to investigate disease mechanisms and address related fundamental neuroscientific questions at the molecular, cellular, network and behavioral level. Experimental models are also used to develop and evaluate novel therapeutic strategies. The clinical relevance and translational potential of these strategies are assessed through collaborations with leading clinical programs and industrial partners.

Dr. Mucke is fully committed to results-oriented mentorship and has an outstanding record of helping individuals of diverse backgrounds pursue successful careers in academia or industry.
