POSITIONS INVESTIGATING THE GENETIC BASIS OF BEHAVIORAL
DISORDERS |
| DUTIES
& QUALIFICATIONS |
The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Center for Behavioral Genetics is a research laboratory
dedicated to determining the genetic causes of
common behavioral and neurological diseases. The
center's co-directors are James D. Watson and
Michael H. Wigler.
Our group has developed innovative strategies
for rapidly identifying the mutations that cause
familial and sporadic genetic disease. Our approach
involves the use of state-of-the-art technologies
for the analysis of copy number variation in the
human genome. We currently have three major projects
on schizophrenia, autism and Parkinson's disease,
respectively. Each study is a multi-center collaboration
with a considerable amount of interaction among
several partner institutions.
We are seeking highly motivated individuals to
carry out postdoctoral research as a lead scientist
on one of the studies described above. The successful
candidate will have experience in one or more
of the following areas:
Neuroscience
Molecular Biology
Human Genetics
Genomics and Bioinformatics

POSTDOCTORAL
FELLOWSHIPS |
| DUTIES
& QUALIFICATIONS |
Applications are invited for two
postdoctoral fellowships available immediately
at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in the group
of Partha Mitra for an integrative theoretical
study of memory formation. The research will be
carried out in close collaboration with an experimental
effort headed by Tim Tully spanning genetic, cellular
and neural systems levels of experimental data.
High throughput experiments studying the genetic
bases of memory in the fruit fly have produced
a comprehensive set of data that are now ready
for detailed theoretical analyses. An unprecedented
level of detailed knowledge is now available about
odor conditioning in drosophila spanning the range
from genes to neurons to behavior, and there is
growing interest in multi-scale models that traverse
the scales. We have a unique opportunity to examine
a set of mechanistic models of the system which,
along with engineering analyses of the results,
should be exemplary in providing a unified approach
to systems biology.
The two postdoctoral positions are expected to
cover the cellular and network levels of analysis,
working together as a team. The focus will be
on integrative analysis of the different data
sets already gathered in the experiments, and
on providing feedback to the ongoing experimental
effort.
Successful candidates should have a PhD in a relevant
discipline. Those with PhDs in physical and mathematical
sciences who have made a transition into biology
or wish to make such a transition are especially
encouraged to apply.
