Description

The Postdoctoral Fellow will perform independent and/or directed research activities to fulfill the
aims of two laboratories’ NIH-funded grants under the direction of two laboratory Principle
Investigator (PI), Drs. Don Caspary and Ben Richardson ([email protected]) in the Department
of Pharmacology at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield, IL. Broadly, this
laboratory addresses issues in understanding neural circuits and their role in disease using a
multi-level state-of-the-art approach. The primary activities of the Fellow will be to perform whole
cell electrophysiology, in vivo electrophysiology, rodent behavioral assays, viral injections in
rodents, microscopy, and training of students and laboratory staff.
The main role of the Fellow is to design and execute studies aimed at understanding the
neurological basis of altered synaptic function in the auditory midbrain with aging and in
neurodevelopmental disorder animal models, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. Parallel to
physiological studies, a transgenic approach will be used to determine how cellular level changes
may lead to disrupted motor and non-motor behaviors. Finally, the fellow may contribute to in vivo
recording studies in wildtype and mutant mice to determine how cellular and synaptic level
changes affect activity of the cerebellar circuit in vivo.
The position is one year in duration and will be renewed annually based on Fellow performance
and funding availability.
