Graduate Student - Neuroscience
University of Toledo- Toledo, Ohio
A graduate student position in Neuroscience is available at the Department of Biological Science, University of Toledo. The position will start in fall 2016 or spring 2017. We are looking for a motivated graduate student with interest in neuroscience, ion channel and related diseases. To learn more about the department, please visit https://www.utoledo.edu/nsm/bio/. Prospective candidates should contact Dr. Jianyang Du (jianyang-du@uiowa.edu) by email and send their resume and transcript (including the transcript of GRE and TOEFL).
The Du lab has broad interests in ion channel physiology (Du J, et al., J Biol Chem 2007; Du J et al., Circ Res 2010; Du J et al., PNAS 2009; Du J et al., J Gen Physiol 2009). Recently, by using a combination of patch-clamp and time-lapse confocal imaging, The Du lab identified that protons function as neurotransmitters to regulate synaptic transmission and plasticity in the amygdala and that the postsynaptic proton receptor, acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), play a key role in this process (Du J et al., PNAS 2014). Moreover, the ongoing project suggests that ASICs manipulate fear memory erasure (Submitting to Nat Neurosci). The unique expertise in the Du lab includes: patch-clamp in brain slice, optogenetics, Ca2+ imaging, confocal microscopy, mouse behaviors.
