Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Child Health Institute of Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. Under the direction of the Principal Investigator, the Postdoctoral Fellow will be responsible for the design, analysis, interpretation and presentation of experiments regarding the study of molecular mechanisms of the regulation of synaptic transmission in mammalian brain and human neurons derived from human tissue.
The Postdoctoral fellow will also participate in lab meetings, research in progress seminars, and presentations at conferences. They will prepare manuscripts based on their research, aid in developing the Principal Investigator’s grant applications, and will be expected to apply for personal grant funding. As part of their career development to transition to the next phase of their career, the Postdoctoral Fellow will be trained in improving their experimental design skills and their oral and written presentation skills. Multiple resources for career development to aid with these requirements will be provided by the Principal Investigator and the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs.
