Available Positions
Faculty Positions The newly established Yale Program for Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration, and Repair (CNNR) is searching for scientists involved in Basic Neuroscience research. Successful applicants will receive a primary appointment in one of the basic science departments of the Yale School of Medicine and will be active members of their department. The Program emphasizes molecular, genetic and biophysical approaches to expand knowledge of neuron-specific aspects of cell function and fosters interactions across disciplinary boundaries. See our website http://info.med.yale.edu/cnnr Candidates must hold an M.D. and/or a Ph.D. degree, or equivalent degrees. We invite applications at the rank of assistant professor, but appointments at the rank of associate and full professor will be considered. This round of applications is due by November 15, 2007. Please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, up to 3 representative publications, a research plan (strictly limited to 2 pages), and arrange for submission of 3 letters of recommendation. Application materials should be sent electronically to Pietro De Camilli and Stephen M. Strittmatter, directors of the Program, exclusively at the following e-mail address: cnnr.search@yale.edu. Recommendation letters can be forwarded by mail. Applications from, or nominations of, women and minority scientists are encouraged. Yale is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.

Postdoctoral Positions Applicants are invited to apply for a funded POSTDOCTORAL POSITION in Neurobiology. Our research group focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying synapse maintenance in the central nervous system and their roles in neurodegenerative diseases. Recent evidence points to synapse loss as an early, fundamentally pathogenic event in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Significantly, these synaptic changes occur many years prior to neuronal cell death. We use the mouse as a model organism to identify and characterize proteins involved in synapse maintenance and to define their roles in neurodegeneration. We have recently identified a presynaptic pathway involved in synapse maintenance and have generated the necessary genetically modified mice to further characterize this pathway [Cell (2005) 123, 383-396]. Available postdoctoral projects aim to characterize genes critical for synapse maintenance in genetically modified mice, utilizing biochemical and imaging techniques. Applications are invited from graduate students about to complete their Ph.D. program and postdoctoral fellows with less than three years or less. Although specific experimental approaches will be taught during the postdoctoral training, experience in the areas of neuroscience, cell biology, and mouse genetics is preferred. Please provide a CV, files of relevant publications and submitted manuscripts, and the names/contact information for at least three references to Dr. Sreeganga Chandra, Program in Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Repair, Department of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Application documents should be submitted by e-mail to: sreeganga.chandra@yale.edu Applications from, or nominations of, women and minority scientists are encouraged.
