2. Post-Doctoral Positions on an NIH-funded T32 Available at UC Irvine:

Postdoctoral positions are available for individuals studying the neurobiology of brain disorders and especially epilepsy. We conceptualize the advancement of knowledge on the origins of epilepsy to include fundamental information about brain function and dysfunction, gained through the use of diverse methodologies and disciplines.

Candidates must be American citizens, and be early in their Postdoctoral career phase. Laboratories currently involved in the T32 are noted below. We welcome additional mentors engaged in the T32 topics as defined above. Please send inquiries to Dr. Tallie Z. Baram, T32 PI, at baramlab@uci.edu.
