Join Our Lab
Our lab conducts in vivo confocal Ca2+ imaging of sensory ganglion neurons (Nat Commun. 2015; 6:8171). Using single cell RNAseq, we developed a molecular taxonomy of taste neurons (Nat Commun. 2017; 8:760). We are now combining these and additional approaches to define stimulus-evoked responses, development and connectivity of molecularly identified sensory neurons. (Also see Nat Rev Neurosci. 2017; 18:485-497; J Neurosci. 2020; 41:8869).
We would like to recruit a recent Ph.D. in physiology, neuroscience, or a related field. The successful candidate will have documented expertise in Ca2+ imaging or electrophysiology.
