Oferta Postdoctoral

!“Neurovascular development in the inner ear”Contrato Juan de la Cierva

Universitat Pompeu Fabra/PRBB

We are seeking a highly motivated and competitive postdoctoral researcher to study the interaction between the development of the vascular system and the sensory neurons of the inner ear. The post holder will work on understanding the role of vascular signals in the growth and axogenesis of the statoacoustic neurons and viceversa. The postdoctoral fellow will be integrated into the laboratory that is using state-of-the-art techniques in zebrafish to study neurodevelopment.

Applicants must have a PhD in a biomedical sciences as well as knowledge on developmental biology. Experience in zebrafish and/or live imaging is welcome. Applicants must have a competitive CV to apply for the Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral position.
The successful applicant will be part of Dr. Alsina group (https://www.upf.edu/devbiol/projectes/Alsina_laboratory.html) at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra / Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona. The PRBB (www.prbb.org) is one of the leading research institutes of Southern Europe.
