Research Assistant (Chen Lab @ WashU Medicine Neuroscience)

[Shea Stewart]

Yao Chen’s interdisciplinary lab in the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis seeks a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team. We focus on uncovering principles of neuromodulator actions and mechanisms of sleep functions by illuminating the nature and functions of biochemical signaling dynamics. We use advanced techniques such as fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, optical sensors, light-activated actuators, electrophysiology, molecular biology, quantitative rodent behavior, and computational approaches. We aim to bridge cellular and systems neuroscience by both taking a systems biology approach to study cellular signals and studying cellular signals in the intact system in vivo.
