Kefalov Lab / Positions

A postdoctoral position is available to study the physiological properties of mouse photoreceptors. Seeking an energetic, highly motivated PhD, MD, or MD/PhD with solid publication record and experience in electrophysiology, biophysics, or neuroscience. Experience in molecular biology is a plus and good analytical and communication skills are essential. Possible projects include functional differences between rod and cone photoreceptors, mechanisms of light adaptation of cone photoreceptors, mutations in cone phototransduction proteins causing visual disorders, and effects of aging on photoreceptors. The specific project can be tailored to the interests and experience of the candidate. For details on recent research see Neuron 46, 879-890, 2005; Nature 425, 526-531, 2003; Neuron 29, 749-55, 2001.
