What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at Tulane University?
Description
Tulane University, School of Medicine Physiology Department in New Orleans, Louisiana is welcoming a Postdoctoral Fellow who will be responsible for studying the means by which neurons control mitochondria to support the energy requirements of neurotransmission, and the mechanisms which fail when mitochondria become involved in neuropathologies. Specifically, the candidate will be responsible for using cells in culture to screen for genes that are candidates for controlling mitochondrial association with the plasma membrane, and to screen for microbial isolates that target mitochondrial function.

Qualifications
- Education: Ph.D., with up to two years’ experience.
- Experience: A strong background in the use of Drosophila as a model organism for neurophysiological research. Candidate must be familiar with techniques for culturing neurons directly from the Drosophila larval brain, as well as culturing IPSCs. It is expected that the candidate would have an advanced appreciation of genomics as it relates to human neurological disease, and be able to cross reference with Drosophila genetic databases. Additional experience in the use of fluorescent probes of mitochondrial function as utilized with confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescent plate readers is desired, although not strictly required. Must be willing to work with and guide students and technicians, generate publications, contribute to grants, and work as a team to help with day-to-day operations of the lab. Preferred qualifications also include prior publications, and good writing skills.
