The Pierchala laboratory, a member of the Stark Neuroscience Research Institute (SNRI) at Indiana University School of Medicine, invites applications for a faculty position at the rank of Assistant Research Professor to develop a project that aims to identify mechanisms of cell fate specification of oral sensory neurons of the geniculate ganglion. Utilizing unbiased methods for the identification of genes enriched in oral sensory neurons, our gene candidate approach has identified numerous genes likely to be involved in the development of taste circuits, including a population of oral mechanosensory neurons. This position will further mine these genes using mouse genetic methods.
The laboratory is looking for investigators with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, single nuclei RNAseq, confocal imaging of immunolabeled tissues, and a detailed anatomic/surgical knowledge of craniofacial ganglia in mice. The successful candidate will join an already established team that includes senior and junior scientists as well as postdocs and Ph.D. students who will also be involved in this project.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities:
Responsible for developing and fully executing a project dissecting the role axonally-localized transcripts in the synaptogenesis and peripheral circuit maintenance of geniculate ganglion neurons.
Lead, develop, and troubleshoot specific analyses.
Multi-task projects and keep pace in a dynamic research environment.
Present research advances at a variety of internal and external seminars.
Lead manuscript writing.
