>Subject: Postdoctoral Positions at MIT

>"Postdoctoral positions are available in Yanik Lab at MIT 
>(<http://www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik>www.rle.mit.edu/Yanik). 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 
><mailto:yanik at mit.edu>yanik at mit.edu . Dr. Yanik will be at the 2007 
>Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego in early November."
