Postdoctoral Positions at MIT</font></blockquote>

size="-1">"Postdoctoral positions are available in Yanik Lab at
MIT (</font><a href="http://www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik"><font face="Arial"
size="-1">www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik</font></a><font face="Arial"
size="-1">). We are interested in (I) development of novel
technologies, (II) discovery of genetic pathways and drug candidates
targeting neural degeneration and regeneration using both in vivo and
in vitro high-throughput methods, and (III) translational research
using human embronic stem cell (hESC) derived neurons. We did the
first study of neural regeneration in C. elegans using femtosecond
laser microsurgery (Nature 432, 822 (2004)). We also recently
demonstrated the first on-chip high-throughput small-animal screening
technology using microfluidics (PNAS, 104, 13891 (2007)). We are
currently developing powerful in vivo and in vitro technologies/assays
for translational research using hES cell derived neurons. Candidates
with experience in mammalian and/or C. elegans neurobiology
and/or engineering/physics/chemistry disciplines are sought. Good
communication skills and willingness to work in a highly
multidisciplinary and friendly team with other engineers, biochemists
and biologists are expected. The postdoctoral positions will be
supported through NIH Director's New Innovator Award, and Packard
Fellowship in Science and Engineering as well as other funds. Duration
of positions is flexible. Please send a brief letter describing
research experience/interest, CV, and contact information of three
references to Dr. Yanik at</font> <a

Yanik will be at the 2007 Society for Neuroscience meeting in San
Diego in early November."</font></blockquote>
