Postdoctoral Position in Neurobiology of Motion Sickness and Metabolism University of South Florida in United States

Postdoctoral position available in the laboratory of Dr. Longlong Tu at the University of South Florida, Center for Molecular Psychiatry, Morsani College of Medicine.

The project focuses on the neurobiology of motion sickness and the interface with metabolism, including neural control of metabolism in the context of obesity, nausea, vomiting during motion sickness, and chemotherapy. The lab uses a multidisciplinary toolkit that includes genetic mouse models, snRNA sequencing, neuroanatomy, optogenetics, chemogenetics, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and molecular biology & biochemistry.

The successful candidate will join an active team with multiple ongoing NIH-funded projects and access to strong research resources for career development. The post is aimed at candidates with a recent Ph.D. (or expected soon) in Neuroscience, Physiology, Endocrinology, Molecular Biology, or a closely related field. Prior experience with in vivo models, stereotaxic surgery, or neural circuit techniques is preferred but not required.

Applicants should be highly motivated and able to work in a diverse technical environment. The post explicitly notes that applicants must be currently authorized to work in the U.S. or reside in a non-restricted country.

To apply, email a cover letter detailing research interests, a CV, and three references to Dr. Longlong Tu at [email protected]. More information about the lab and the Center for Molecular Psychiatry is available at the provided research page.
