A postdoctoral research fellow in genetics and neuroscience opportunity is available in the laboratory of professeur Kassen Patten<\/a> at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) \u2013 Armand-Frappier Sant\u00e9 Biotechnologie Research Centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Postdoctoral Fellowships description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Patten lab uses zebrafish as a translational tool to study the function of genes that are strongly associated with neurological disorders including autism spectrum disorders (Jamadagni et al. 2021\u00a0EMBO reports<\/em>). We are seeking for a candidate to study the role of chromatin remodelling factors in brain development and disease. Specifically, the candidate will use zebrafish mutants to study how disruption of chromatin remodellers, that are linked to autism, affects brain development and the neural circuitry underlying behaviours. The overall goal is to utilize the zebrafish model to identify the mechanisms underlying autism and discover potential new therapeutic targets. The project will include application of confocal microscopy, cellular neurophysiology, genome editing and exciting molecular biology approaches. The post holder will benefit from brand-new and state-of-the-art imaging and fish facilities of the Institute. The candidate will also benefit from an intellectual environment, friendly and interactive culture of the neuroscience community in Montreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Start date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fall 2021 or Winter 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Required qualifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The candidate must have a PhD in Genetics, Neuroscience, Developmental Biology or related field. The ideal candidate should preferably have experience in zebrafish model, imaging techniques, molecular biology and genome editing methods. Independence, motivation, strong work ethic and a willingness to work as part of a team are required. The candidate will have the opportunity and be supported into developing new projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


How to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Candidates interested in the postdoctoral fellowship must submit their application using the following online form. Candidates should submit curriculum vitae, a one-page summary of research interests and the contact information for three (3) references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
