Successful candidates will demonstrate outstanding research credentials with interests that complement and extend existing focuses in the department (http://www.physiology.wisc.edu). The Department is committed to integrative approaches to research problems and especially encourages applications from individuals who employ proteomics, cellular imaging, computational methods, or animal models of human disease. Successful candidates will teach in one or more programs in the Department such as team-taught courses in physiology or our new M.S. in Biotechnology and participate in Ph.D. and post-doctoral training programs. The Department features a breadth of inquiry encompassing molecular to systems level of research, a supportive collegial work environment, and a collective commitment to collaborative research programs. Opportunities for participation in campus-wide interdisciplinary research and training programs are excellent. The successful candidate will also participate in professional, public and university service appropriate to the faculty rank.

Interested individuals should submit curriculum vitae, a one to two page summary of research interests and plans, and three letters of reference to University of Wisconsin–Madison, Department of Physiology, Faculty Search Committee #55301, c/o Alice Puchalski, 1300 University Avenue, Madison, WI 53706, or electronically to facsearch@physiology.wisc.edu.

Post-doctoral Fellow - Physiology

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available immediately to participate in ongoing studies of mechanisms that underlie locomotor rhythms in the mammalian spinal cord. Experiments are performed using transgenic mice in which distinct, rhythmic interneuronal populations express green fluorescent protein. Cellular properties of these visually identified interneurons and the synaptic connections between them are studied using complementary whole cell recordings and imaging techniques. For more information, visit our web site http://www.physiology.wisc.edu/faculty/ziskind-conhaim.html. Candidates must have Ph.D. in Neurobiology or similar field, and experience in electrophysiological techniques is essential.

To apply, please send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and addresses of three referees to:
Lea Ziskind-Conhaim, Ph.D.
University of Wisconsin
Department of Physiology, 129 SMI
1300 University Ave
