Postdoctoral Positions in Neuroscience
at the Case Western Reserve University

Positions are available to investigate 1) neuromuscular junction and related disorders and 2) synaptic plasticity and pathological mechanisms of brain disorders. For more information, please visit our lab’s website: http://case.edu/medicine/neurosciences/people/faculty/.
Candidates should have a PhD in life sciences and are self-motivated for high-quality research. Strong background in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, and/or behavioral analysis is ideal but not essential. The Case Western Reserve University is a top 25 medical school in the US. Cleveland is an attractive, affordable, culturally rich, and diverse city. Interested candidates should send CV and a brief statement of research interests to Lin Mei at lin.mei@case.edu.
