Employer: University of Louisville Website: http://louisville.edu/kscirc/... Location: Louisville, KY, USA Type: Postdoctoral Posted: January 14, 2011 Expires: March 15, 2011 Vascular protection after spinal cord injury January 2011: A Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate position is available immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Theo Hagg to continue expanding exciting new advances made in pharmacologically rescuing axons, myelin and vasculature and reducing inflammation after spinal cord injury in rats and mice (e.g., J Neurosci 28: 7293-7303, 2008, Brain 133:1026-42, 2010). This project is part of an NIH and KY state awards focused on targeting the vasculature and axons in the damaged spinal cord. Information about the lab is at http://louisville.edu/kscirc/researchers.html These methods involve chronic intrathecal or intravenous infusion of novel drugs that enhance intracellular survival signaling and reduce infiltration of inflammatory cells after a contusion injury in mice or rats. The effectiveness of the treatments is measured by anterograde tracing of axons, histological yses of spared myelin and blood vessels, yses of inflammatory cells, by sensory and motor evoked potentials and behavioral measures. There is ample opportunity to interact and collaborate with other trainees in the lab, and with the other ~60 members of the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center and to attend regular seminars from visiting leaders in various fields of neuroscience and neurotrauma. Our Center has excellent core facilities and a vibrant, interactive and collaborative scientific environment and a mission to translate our research to the clinic. The candidates should have a PhD plus relevant published research experience. Desired backgrounds include neurobiology, basic molecular biology, pharmacology and rodent neurosurgery. Applicants who have experience with spinal cord injury models are preferred. Salary will be based on experience. Louisville is a pleasant mid-sized city with many cultural and outdoors opportunities, and relatively inexpensive housing.
