Gordon Mitchell

Two postdoctoral associate positions are available in the laboratory of Gordon Mitchell at the University of Florida . The project focuses on spinal cord neuroplasticity and on using plasticity-based approaches to restore breathing in rodent models of spinal cord injury . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in neuroscience, physiology, respiratory control, and translational rehabilitation research. The positions are based in the UF BREATHE Center (Breathing Research and Therapeutics Center) and the McKnight Brain Institute . The BREATHE Center brings together basic and clinician scientists working on breathing and airway defense, with research cores spanning control of breathing, airway defense, and spinal cord injury. The environment is described as highly interdisciplinary and supportive for trainees. Funding is provided by NIH research grants , and the post is open to candidates with flexible visa status. A PhD or equivalent is required. The post also connects trainees to NeuroPD2 , a postdoctoral professional development community at UF that offers seminars, career development, mentoring, outreach, and networking for postdocs in neuroscience and related fields. Interested applicants should contact Gordon S. Mitchell, PhD at [email protected] for more information. The post does not list a formal deadline, so applicants should reach out as soon as possible.
