A postdoctoral research position is available immediately to join an enthusiastic research team in the Neuroscience program (http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/research_vcapp/Appelyard_S.asp). Our group studies how neural pathways regulate appetite. We use patch clamp techniques to determine how specifically identified neurons in the brainstem integrate and relay the effects of both neuronal and hormonal signals about energy homeostasis. A Ph.D. in a related field and peer-reviewed publications are a requirement for this position. A background in electrophysiology or cellular neuroscience is preferred. Salary is commensurate with experience. Please send your cover letter, CV and the names and email addresses of three references to Suzanne Appleyard, Dept. of VCAPP, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164, USA or by e mail to appleyas@vetmed.wsu.edu. WSU is EEO/AA
