Postdoctoral Research Postition in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil

A postdoctoral position is open for the project "Synaptic transmission in neurons involved in the generation and modulation of sympathetic and respiratory activities in hypoxic conditions" supported by São Paulo State Research Foundation (FAPESP) and coordinated by Benedito H. Machado, Department of Physiology, School of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Brazil.

The main goal of this project is to understand the changes in the synaptic transmission in the brainstem neurons involved with the generation and modulation of sympathetic and respiratory activities and their coupling under hypoxic conditions. To qualify the applicants must hold a Ph.D., preferentially in Physiology or Neuroscience, with a strong background in the central neural control of the autonomic and respiratory functions. Interested individuals should send an e-mail to the coordinator (E-mail) with the name of 2 references in the field, curriculum vitae and a cover letter stating the research interests.
