About this position

The Blader Laboratory at Virginia Tech is recruiting a postdoctoral associate to continue research on how infections in the brain lead to neuronal complications such as seizures.

This project builds on prior findings from the laboratory showing that, in infected mice, the majority of inhibitory synapses are eliminated through phagocytosis. The postdoctoral researcher will investigate why inhibitory synapses are selectively removed and identify the neuronal and/or immunological cells and proteins responsible for this synapse elimination.

The role is embedded in an active research environment focused on brain infection, neuronal circuitry, and immune-mediated mechanisms of neural injury. The work is positioned within Virginia Tech, a large research university with broad interdisciplinary strengths and a strong research infrastructure.
