JOB OPENING-SPINAL CORD SOCIETY RESEARCH CENTER:

The Spinal Cord Society Research Laboratory located in Fort Collins, Colorado is a not-for-profit research laboratory dedicated to finding a cure for chronic spinal cord injury. Our focus is on developing treatments that will promote spinal cord nerve regeneration and improve motor function in patients with chronic paralysis.

We are seeking to create a position at the junior research scientist level (PhD in hand, no post-doctoral experience). The incumbent would work to explore, develop and test potential cell- and pharmaceutical-based therapeutics in vitro prior to being used in a chronic, contusion model of spinal cord injury. The individual should have a strong background in neuro-cell biology, molecular and cell culture techniques. Excellent communication skills and the desire to work within a group are required. A competitive salary will be offered. Interested applicants please send CV and cover letter to:

Patrick D. Sarmiere, Ph.D.
Neuroscientist

Postdoctoral Research

Requirements: Applicants must have a doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., D.V.M.) and publications in reviewed journals. Applications will be accepted from graduate students completing their doctoral degree requirements but the degree must be completed before the applicant can begin their postdoctoral appointment.

Duties: 1. Assist in the design of interdisciplinary research that may include developmental, anatomical, neurochemical, cell biological, molecular biological and immunological fields; 2. Plan and carry out experiments and analyze data; 3. Prepare manuscripts for publication; 4. Help supervise and guide junior researchers working on related projects; 5. Attend scientific seminars and participate in journal clubs; 6. Prepare talks and posters of research results for presentation at national or international meetings.

Application Procedure: Send resume and three letters of reference to Melissa Hein, Department of Biomedical Sciences, 102 Physiology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1680. Questions may be directed to Melissa Hein at: (970) 491-6098 or e-mail: Melissa.Hein@ColoState.EDU; FAX: (970) 461-7569 or to Stuart Tobet: stuart.tobet@colostate.edu; 970-491-1672.

The Department of Biomedical Sciences: This interdisciplinary department contains over 30 faculty and the international reputation of the faculty members is demonstrated by their ability to attract strong extramural support. Faculty research interests are focused in cellular, molecular and integrative biology, reproductive biology, and neurobiology, with relevant emphasis in areas related to neuronal differentiation, degeneration and regeneration, ion channels and membrane physiology, synaptic mechanisms, neuronal circuitry, chronobiology, sensory biology, artificial neural networks, gonadal function, and neuroendocrinology. The department is highly interactive and offers postdoctoral fellows a friendly but rigorous learning environment. There is ample opportunity for informal interactions between fellows and faculty, thus encouraging the kind of discussions and collaborations that are critical to success in the cutting-edge atmosphere of modern biomedical research. Program faculty members are housed in modern research buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. All of the training faculty members have laboratories that are within relatively close proximity. University facilities that support research efforts include electron microscopes, flow cytometer and fluorescent activated cell sorter, confocal microscopes, DNA, RNA and protein sequencing and syntheses labs, a mass spectrometer lab, and three facilities under development for genomics, preoteomics, and transgenic animal research. The hard work of research is balanced by the unique opportunity to relax and reflect in the mountains and canyons of beautiful Colorado.
