Plusieurs postes postdoctoraux sont disponibles dans le laboratoire du Dr Matthew Banghart du Département de neurobiologie de l'Université de Californie à San Diego.

Les boursiers en neurosciences sont recherchés pour travailler sur deux projets qui se chevauchent. Notre programme de recherche sur la libération de neuropeptides vise à identifier les mécanismes cellulaires régissant la sécrétion de neuropeptides à partir des neurones centraux des mammifères. Notre programme de recherche sur la modulation de la douleur vise à découvrir les circuits neuronaux qui soutiennent la modulation descendante de la douleur (par exemple, l'analgésie placebo) et les actions des analgésiques pharmacologiques tels que les analgésiques opioïdes. Ces programmes de recherche se croisent, car la signalisation des neuropeptides est au cœur du traitement de la douleur et de sa modulation. Veuillez consulter le site Web du laboratoire pour plus d'informations.

Les approches employées comprennent l'électrophysiologie des tranches de cerveau, l'imagerie à 2 photons dans les tranches de cerveau, la photométrie à fibre in vivo (avec des capteurs de neuropeptide optique et de Ca2+ génétiquement codés), l'imagerie Ca2+ unicellulaire in vivo, la photo-décage in vivo de médicaments et de neuropeptides, et l'automatisation mesure du comportement lié à la douleur chez la souris. Les candidats doivent avoir un doctorat en neurosciences ou dans une discipline connexe, ainsi qu'une expérience substantielle en électrophysiologie, en imagerie de fluorescence ou en analyse comportementale des rongeurs. Une expérience dans la recherche sur la douleur serait un plus.

En outre, un boursier en chimie organique est recherché pour travailler sur le développement de médicaments et de neuropeptides activés par la lumière qui conduiront à des études sur les mécanismes neuronaux de la signalisation peptidique et de l'action des médicaments. Un objectif majeur est d'améliorer la compatibilité in vivo des groupes de mise en cage photochimique qui peuvent être utilisés pour la photopharmacologie chez des souris comportementales et, éventuellement, chez l'homme. Les candidats doivent avoir un doctorat en chimie et une solide expérience en synthèse de petites molécules. Des connaissances supplémentaires en photochimie et/ou en synthèse peptidique seraient un plus.

Un financement est disponible, mais les boursiers seront encouragés à postuler pour des bourses et encadrés tout au long du processus.

Le Banghart Lab est situé dans le Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior (CNCB). La communauté UCSD Neuroscience est un groupe dynamique et stimulant composé de laboratoires de plusieurs départements et comprend des laboratoires des instituts de recherche Salk et Scripps à proximité. Nous sommes fiers de travailler dans un environnement de recherche hautement interactif qui englobe la diversité et l'équilibre travail-vie personnelle en plus de l'excellence scientifique. Ces postes offriront des opportunités de rédiger des subventions, de former des étudiants et de présenter les résultats lors de conférences professionnelles.

Le salaire et les avantages sociaux seront proportionnels à l'expérience conformément aux directives de l'UCSD : https://biology.ucsd.edu/jobs/postdoc.html . Veuillez noter qu'en raison des récentes renégociations de contrat, l'échelle salariale actuelle augmentera considérablement au cours des prochaines années à tous les niveaux, par exemple, de sorte qu'un boursier de niveau 5 sera payé 85 735 $ / an après le 10/1/26.

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Matthew Banghart in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of California San Diego.

Neuroscience Fellows are sought to work on two overlapping projects. Our Neuropeptide Release research program aims to identify cellular mechanisms governing neuropeptide secretion from mammalian central neurons. Our Pain Modulation research program aims to uncover the neural circuits that support top-down pain modulation (e.g., placebo analgesia) and the actions of pharmacological pain-killers such as opioid analgesics. These research programs intersect, as neuropeptide signaling is a central to pain processing and its modulation. Please see the lab website for more information.

Approaches employed include brain slice electrophysiology, 2-photon imaging in brain slices, in vivo fiber photometry (with genetically-encoded optical neuropeptide and Ca2+ sensors), in vivo single cell Ca2+ imaging, in vivo photo-uncaging of drugs and neuropeptides, and automated measurement of pain-related behavior in mice. Candidates must have a PhD in Neuroscience or a related discipline, as well as substantial experience with electrophysiology, fluorescence imaging, or rodent behavioral analysis. Experience in pain research would be advantageous.

In addition, an Organic Chemistry Fellow is sought to work on the development of light-activated drugs and neuropeptides that will drive studies into the neural mechanisms of peptide signaling and drug action. A major goal is to improve the in vivo compatibility of photochemical caging groups that can be used for photopharmacology in behaving mice, and eventually, in humans. Candidates must have a PhD in chemistry and a strong record in small molecule synthesis. Additional knowledge in photochemistry and/or peptide synthesis would be advantageous.

Funding is available but fellows will be encouraged to apply for fellowships and mentored through the process.

The Banghart Lab is located in the Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior (CNCB). The UCSD Neuroscience community is a vibrant and stimulating group comprised of labs from multiple departments, and includes labs from the nearby Salk and Scripps Research Institutes. We are proud to work in a highly interactive research environment that embraces diversity and work-life balance in addition to scientific excellence. These positions will offer opportunities to write grants, train students and present findings at professional conferences.

Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience in accordance with UCSD guidelines: https://biology.ucsd.edu/jobs/postdoc.html. Please note that due to recent contract renegotiations the current pay scale will increase considerably over the next few years at all levels, for example, such that a Level 5 fellow will be paid $85,735/yr after 10/1/26. Applicants should send their CV, a brief (1 page max) statement on background and interests, and contact information for at least two references to Dr. Banghart at mbanghart@ucsd.edu.

FLIMagin3D’s goal is to train a new generation of young researchers, based on an internationally competitive consortium of developers, users and industrial collaborators (see: https://flimagin3d.com/). The scientific objective of FLIMagin3D is to synergistically evolve key aspects of Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) across disciplines by i) advancing the acquisition of FLIM data and the analysis pipeline, ii) developing improved platforms that facilitate imaging for a wide range of (bio)medical, chemical and biophysical applications, and iii) advancing the state-of-the-art in FLIM biosensors. The project is a collaboration between 8 academic and 4 industrial partners from 7 European countries and brings together highly synergistic expertise on advanced bioimaging and image analysis.

Who are we looking for? 

We are looking broadly across disciplines for a candidate with technical expertise and experience in live cell microscopy, bioimaging and image analysis. The MSCA Doctoral Network offer a unique opportunity to get cutting-edge training in advanced microscopy and image analysis in a multidisciplinary environment with a focus on academic and personal development of the PhD fellows. The supervisors in the network each provide specific competences and as part of the network you develop your skills and carry out research both independently and as part of a network of 12 PhD fellows. The consortium ensures exchange of ideas through network-wide training events, summer schools and secondments at academic and industrial partners in the network. As a PhD fellow in the FLIMagin3D network, you need to have good social skills, be innovative and goal-oriented and be willing to conduct the planned secondments and other network activities.

Formal requirements  

Applicants should hold, or be very close to completing, a masters degree in physics, chemistry, biology, biomedicine or (bio)engineering. In particular, we require that candidates have prior experience with advanced microscopy and image analysis. Knowledge of optical sensors, microfluidics, 3D (bio)printing, or cell culture and sample preparation are considered great advantages.  Excellent command of spoken and written English is required. As criteria for the assessment of your qualifications, emphasis will also be laid on previous publications (if any) and relevant work experience.

The scientific objective of FLIMagin3D is to synergistically evolve key aspects in FLIM imaging across disciplines by advancing the acquisition of FLIM data and the analysis pipeline, by developing improved platforms that facilitate imaging for a wide range of (bio)medical, chemical and biophysical applications, and by advancing the state-of-the-art in FLIM biosensors. Through real-world biological and biomedical research lines across the partners we can showcase the validity and power of our developments and unify in streamlining FLIM as an accessible and robust tool.
