'Women in Neuroscience: A Call to Action'
Dr. Carol Mason, president of the Society for Neuroscience, has issued a challenge for all women in neuroscience to strive towards and accept positions of leadership in order to correct the glaring lack of women in leadership positions in academia. Dr. Mason also provides a number of suggestions for how best to encourage and promote other women in neuroscience fields, including mentoring young aspiring scientists in high school and suggesting/nominating other women for feature speaker opportunities and major awards.
Advancement Opportunities
Postdoctoral research position in addiction biology available at Medical University of South Carolina
The postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Peter Kalivas at MUSC. The candidate must be well-trained and published in whole cell patch slice electrophysiology, and motivated to apply this technique to studying addiction biology. Additional research training opportunities can include optogenetics and DREADDs and protein biochemistry.

Postdoctoral research position in optogenetics and neuronal function at Pfizer Neusentis in Cambridge, UK
The postdoctoral position is open for a neurobiologist with a strong background in molecular and cell biology (particularly cell imaging). The candidate will use cutting edge optogenetic tools to examine if precise spatiotemporal control of pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neuron signaling will clarify subcellular contributions to nociceptor function.
