About the Lab
The Anton Lab, located within the Neuroscience Center at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, is dedicated to investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cerebral cortical circuit development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Our research utilizes advanced multi-modal methods, including circuit mapping, chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulation, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, single-cell transcriptomics, brain organoids, and human cortical connectomics. Key findings from our work have been published in leading journals such as Developmental Cell and Neuron.
About the Role
We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral fellows to join our team in Chapel Hill. This position offers an opportunity to explore the molecular mechanisms of neural circuit development and function in the mammalian brain. The role is designed for ambitious, driven candidates who are eager to contribute to cutting-edge research while developing their independence in the field.
The lab provides an exceptionally supportive environment specifically designed to facilitate career growth. Successful candidates will typically hold a recent PhD (and/or MD) in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, neuroscience, or a related field, with a solid record of thesis publications. Expertise in advanced cell biological, biochemical, and molecular techniques is highly valued.
