Mail: ferdinando.rossi@ unito.it ________________________________________________________________________________ A postdoctoral position is available at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Turin, to work in a project on “Specific cell replacement and circuit rewiring in cerebellar degeneration”. The project follows two main lines: (1) cell replacement by transplantation of stem or progenitor in different models of cerebellar degeneration in vivo and/or in organotypic slices in vitro; (2) mobilisation of resident progenitors by infusion of trophic/growth factors in the same experimental models. Other research areas in the lab are: (1) specification and differentiation in cerebellar development; (2) axon regeneration in the mammalian CNS. The candidate should have experience in neurobiological techniques (basic cell/molecular biology, histology, cell culture, neuroanatomy) and interest in research on brain degeneration and repair. Application, including CV, list of publications and two letters of reference, should be sent to: Ferdinando Rossi Rita Levi Montalcini Centre for Brain Repair Dept. of Neuroscience Section of Physiology University of Turin Corso Raffaello 30 I-10125 Turin, Italy.
