We are seeking for a highly motivated postdoctoral scientist to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in sensory circuit glia-to-neuron reprogramming.

This 3-years project aims to understand the rules for region-specific reprogramming with the ultimate goal of recovery sensory thalamocortical circuits in sensory deprived mice. Applicants should have a proven track record and an independent working style.

Requirements:
Position. PhD in Neuroscience and experience in cell biology and molecular biology. Knowledge in bioinformatics will be positively evaluated.

Please go to the link below and have a look at the details and contact information. Applications will be considered until March 15, 2021

CERCODE («Cerebellar control of Cortical Development») project, which will have Juan Antonio Moreno-Bravo as the main researcher, seeks to understand the mechanisms by which the cerebellum could influence the development and function of the cerebral cortex.

Here we described for the first time the existence of spontaneous calcium waves that propagate across different sensory nuclei in the embryonic thalamus. Disrupting the wave pattern triggers thalamic gene expression changes and eventually alters the size of cortical areas.
