Neurology I
Date posted: March 24, 2008
Description: The Stanford Human Motor Control and Balance laboratory is offering a 2-3 year post-doctoral fellowship to participate in research in human brain electrophysiology in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and dystonia.
The Stanford Human Motor Control and Balance laboratory is part of the Stanford Movement Disorders Center within the department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. Research in the laboratory focuses on the pathophysiology of movement disorders such as PD, dystonia, and tremor. This position offers an exceptional opportunity to participate in research into the underlying abnormalities of electrical activity in the basal ganglia in movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, via direct local field potential (LFP) recordings.
Laboratory technology includes intraoperative electrophysiology recording capability from multiple micro- and macro-electrodes, multi-channel surface EMG, joint angular motion sensors, finger keystrike motion capture, and dynamic posturography.
The postdoctoral fellow will be primarily involved in a series of experiments to investigate the properties of abnormal low-frequency LFP activity in human patients with PD. A particular focus will be to determine the effects of therapeutic interventions such as Deep Brain Stimulation on this LFP activity and to understand its relation to concomitant motor performance.
The position involves direct human subject interaction and testing. The fellow will be directly responsible for collection and analysis of LFP data and spectral analysis using advanced mathematics and statistical processes. The desired candidate is a self-motivated, independent worker who is capable of developing new research avenues. He or she is expected to participate in the all aspects of research from experimental design to data collection, analysis and presentation in addition to the writing of manuscripts, oral presentations at meetings, and collaboration with other laboratories.
The position requires a PhD in electrical engineering, neuroscience, bioengineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Experience and publications within the field of neuroscience are highly desirable. Candidates should have strong mathematical and computational skills; experience with MatLab and statistical software is necessary. Experience with video, data presentation and database software is also preferred. In addition to strong technical skills, this position requires the interpersonal and communication skills necessary to interact with patients and their families and excellent organizational skills.
The position is available starting immediately. Salary is set by Stanford University School of Medicine depending on level of training. Please send a CV, letter of interest (including US citizenship/immigration status information), and contact information for references to the e-mail below:

Neurology II
Date posted: December 7, 2007
Description: Research in the Reimer lab focuses on the role of transporters in the pathology and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The lysosomal free sialic acid storage disorders are a group of diseases defined by the loss of sialin, a lysosomal sialic acid transporter. Although sialin is expressed in nearly all tissues, these diseases have their most marked effects on the nervous system with well recognized neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative features.
We are studying the normal function and regulation of sialin using biochemistry and cell biological techniques including live cell imaging. In addition to ongoing projects new directions include 1) defining how mutations in sialin influence late-endsome/lysosome function, 2) determining how loss of sialin influences sialic acid recycling and the metabolism of sialylated glycoproteins and gangliosides and 3) characterizing the effect of loss of sialin on neurodevelopment in the mammalian nervous system
Position requires a PhD or MD with research experience in molecular and cell biology. Familiarity in transporter biology, lysosome biogenesis, synapse formation or myelination is desirable, but not necessary. A high level of motivation and an ability to think quantitatively and communicate clearly are required.
