The Quattrocolo group at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience has an opening for a postdoctoral candidate in cell and molecular neurobiology. The main research interest of the lab is the study of cortical circuit development. In particular we focus on understanding the influence of specific cell types (such as Cajal-Retzius cells) in the establishment and maturation of the circuit of the hippocampal-entorhinal area. We aim to combine different techniques, from anatomical tracing to transcriptomic, from in vitro to in vivo physiology to reach our goal. The successful candidate will be expected to perform analysis of protein and gene expression levels in physiological and non-physiological development. The position is a full time (100%) position, with a 2-4 years contract, starting in early 2021.
