Postdoctoral fellowships in Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology.
(neuronal differentiation/cytoskeleton/gene expression)

Place: Basel, Switzerland.

Institution: Friedrich Miescher Institute.

Groupleader: Andrew Matus, Ph.D.

My group consists of 8 or 9 people, of whom 3 or 4 are postdocs., 
working on the role of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) 
in neuronal morphogenesis with a special interest in plasticity. You 
can get an orientation on our approach from the following 
publications:

Matus, A. (1988) Ann Rev. Neurosci. 11:29-44.

Garner,C. and Matus, A. (1988) J. Cell Biol. 106:779-783.

Tucker, R. et al. (1988) J. Comp. Neurol. 271:44-55.

The Institute offers postdoctoral fellowship, normally of 3 years duration, 
that are internally funded. Reasonable removal expenses to Basel are normally 
paid. 

I am interested in hearing from well qualified people who have just 
completed their Ph.D. or have done one postdoc. and want to do a second. 
You must have a good training in a field relevant to developmental 
neurobiology. Molecular biologists with a strong interest in neurobiology 
are welcome. You should have at least some work published or in press. 
At present I am primarily intereted in candidates with experience in either 
amphibian development, for our ongoing Xenopus project, or neuronal cell 
culture and transformation, preferably using retroviral vectors. However, 
if you are strongly motivated and interested in our work I shall consider 
you whatever your background.

Research facilities at the Institute are excellent. Travel funds are 
available for assistance to attend meetings and usually postdocs. get to
one or two American meetings during their stay here.

If you are interested send me a brief c.v., list of publications, and 
names and postal addresses of three references.
