GPCR-Dependent Neurodevelopmental and Neuroprotective Signaling Mechanisms

Position Description:

A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Molecular Signaling, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), National Institutes of Health, located in Rockville, Maryland. We are investigating novel GPCR signaling mechanisms in neurodevelopment and neuroprotection leading to a potential link to neurodegenerative conditions and/or a therapeutic strategy for CNS injury in adulthood.

A creative and highly motivated individual who is qualified in some but not necessarily in all these areas will also be considered. Strong verbal and written communication skills are desirable. Salary will be set commensurate with experience and accomplishments as well as NIH guidelines for intramural research training awards.
