[All-postdocs] postdoctoral position: Engineering neural controllers in Hydra

[Rebecca Helm]

For those that may be interested:

A postdoctoral scholar position is available immediately in the Steele lab
in the Department of Biological Chemistry at UC Irvine to work on a project
funded by the Biological Control Program of the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA). The project is entitled “Breaking the code:
engineering neural controllers in Hydra”. The project is being carried out
by a consortium of seven laboratories at five institutions in the United
States. The project will be funded for four years if progress is
satisfactory. The goal of the project is to build synthetic behavior in
Hydra by genetically re-engineering its nervous system.

Applicants for the position must have a Ph.D., extensive molecular biology
experience, a record of research productivity, independent thinking skills,
and be highly motivated. Applicants with experience with Hydra, other
cnidarian models, or other invertebrate models are desired. Preference will
be given to applicants who can start soon.

Applications should be submitted through the recruitment portal at
