The Allada laboratory (alladalab.org) is seeking energetic and highly motivated individuals for open postdoctoral positions. The lab studies the molecular and circuit basis of sleep and its links to learning and memory and neurodegenerative disease (Flourakis et al, Cell, 2015; Braun et al., PNAS, 2018; Andreani et al., eLife, 2022). Our research incorporates a wide range of multidisciplinary approaches, including molecular (e.g., RNA sequencing, luminescence reporter imaging, proteomics), cellular (e.g, connectomics, optical imaging), and behavioral (e.g., in vivo neuronal activation, memory) in a range of models, including flies, mice, and humans. We are especially interested in individuals with experience in sleep with mouse models. Interested individuals should apply here: https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/244054/research-fellow and include a brief statement of research interests, CV, and the names of three references.
