Dear Auditory List Serve Members:
I am attaching a post for an open postdoctoral position in my lab to study the development of the vestibular system using our new animal model for congenital vestibular disorders. We are excited about learning how the central vestibular system circuitry forms synapses in the absence of the semicircular canals, the most common pathology found in syndrome congenital vestibular disorders that also characterizes our chick animal model. Electrophysiological and confocal imaging approaches will be coordinated to view the structure/ function of synapses in this disorder.
Thanks for bringing this opportunity to the attention of your interested developmental biology students.
Best wishes,
