Post-doctoral Fellowship Opportunity
University of Richmond, Richmond, VA
Posted: October 22, 2008
A campus-wide minority postdoctoral fellow program
was recently established at the
University of Richmond, School of Arts and Sciences. We are
trying to recruit someone
to contribute to a neuroscience project on the biology of neurodegenerative
disease using
a Drosophila model, with an emphasis on electrophysiological
approaches to studying
neural tissue. The research is funded by the NIH (Dr. John
Warrick) allowing strong
research support including extracellular and patch clamp recording
equipment and
training (Dr. Boland). This position would be particularly
attractive to someone
considering a job at a primarily undergraduate institution
that has strong research
expectations. Candidates already holding a post-doctoral position
and with an interest in
obtaining additional credentials and training for a career
in a liberal arts institution are
highly desirable. Approximately 75% effort would be placed
on research with other time
spent on meaningful and mentored teaching experiences at this
top tier liberal arts
college. Interaction with undergraduates will be expected and
helpful to the candidate’s
career plans. The ideal candidate will have published experience
in fly genetics,
neurodegenerative disease, or electrophysiology. The post-doctoral
fellow would interact
and collaborate with Drs. John Warrick and Linda Boland who
are committed to
providing strong mentorship in all respects of the post-doctoral
fellow’s professional
development. Residency of this fellowship is intended for the
2009-2010 academic year.
Interested applicants should
contact either John (jwarrick@richmond.edu)
or Linda
(lboland@richmond.edu).

Biology Department please see biology.richmond.edu.
The university of
Richmond, a private and primarily undergraduate university,

a diverse workforce and student body and to supporting an inclusive
campus community.
