Positions Vacant
Postdoctoral Fellow Position (in vivo electrophysiologist) in the Central Cardiorespiratory Control Laboratory, Australian School of Advanced Medicine, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia.
Candidates are invited to apply for a research academic position at the Australian School of Advanced Medicine. The position is sponsored by a National Health & Medical Research Council Project Grant, under the direction of Professor Paul M. Pilowsky and Dr Simon McMullan. The project aims to examine network interactions between brainstem cardiovascular control neurons involved in the control of blood pressure in the rat. The position will be available for a minimum of two years with a possibility of extension thereafter. Applications from international candidates are encouraged.
The successful candidate will already possess demonstrated organisational skills and initiative, and will be capable of high-quality independent research. They will show an aptitude for in vivo physiological techniques and will be keen to expand their repertoire and field of expertise. A proven strength in oral and written communication, and a strong publication record (relative to opportunity) is essential. The candidate will already possess relevant in vivo physiological skills and a minimum of a first class Honours degree or postgraduate degree.
For further information regarding this position please contact Professor Pilowsky (paul.pilowsky@asam.mq.edu.au) or Dr McMullan (simon.mcmullan@asam.mq.edu.au). To apply for this position, please follow this link. Closing Date: 30 May. Only applications submitted via the Macquarie University job site will be accepted.

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.
