Job Title:	Postdoctoral Fellow
Employer:	University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City
Description:	We are seeking talented and enthusiastic postdocs to join our group. The lab utilizes coordinated biochemical, cell biological, electrophysiological and imaging studies in vitro and in vivo, including state of the art techniques such as in vivo two-photon microscopy and chronic electrophysiological recordings in live animals (McCurry et al., 2010). Projects will range from basic mechanisms of memory storage (Chowdhury et al., 2006, and Shepherd and Bear, 2011) to understanding neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (Wu et al., 2011) and neurodevelopmental disorders such Angelman and fragile X syndrome (Park et al., 2008).
Requirements:	We are particularly interested in people with molecular biology/biochemistry/cell biology experience or electrophysiology/imaging experience. There is a growing and vibrant neuroscience community at the University of Utah, with an excellent quality of life. Nestled in the Wasatch mountains, Salt Lake City offers both cultural (Sundance Film Festival) and outdoor recreation (over five world-class ski resorts with 30 minutes) activities.
