POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN NEUROSCIENCE/TWO-PHOTON IMAGING

At the University of Bergen, Department of Biomedicine, a three year
postdoctoral fellowship from The Research Council of Norway is available on
the project:”Decoding Synaptic Memory with TimeSTAMP”. The project is led
by Professor Clive Bramham of the Neuroscience Research Group.

The project employs novel genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to image
new protein synthesis underlying synaptic plasticity and the encoding of
information in neural networks.  

QUALIFICATIONS AND QUALITIES
The successful applicant must hold a doctoral degree in neuroscience, imaging
technology, or a related discipline or have submitted her/his thesis by the
application deadline. The thesis must be approved prior to hiring.

The candidate must have a strong publication track-recordand extensive
experience in one or more of the following techniques listed in order of priority:
1. Time-lapse confocal or two-photon imaging in brain slice
preparations or intact animals. Experience with 2P microscopy is preferred but
not required.
2. Electrophysiological recording (whole-cell patch clamp) in brain slices.
3. Molecular neurobiology including the use of viral vectors.

The candidate should be proficient in spoken and written English.

Personal skills will be emphasized. The candidate should be able to work
independently and interactively in a team setting, be motivated and
responsible, and also have a great work capacity and enthusiasm for research.

Further information about the position can be obtained from Prof. Clive
Bramham,

WE CAN OFFER  
- Interdisciplinary, challenging work environment
- Salary level 57 (code 1352) on the government salary scale (NOK
473 400 per year, before tax), with degree in Medicine or Dentistry level 59,
with a medical specialization level 61. Further increases in salary will be bases
on seniority in the position.
- A good pension scheme in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund

HOW TO APPLY

Dear All,

We are looking for a better, more soluble (monomeric) fluorescent protein with better photo properties than mCherry, and with similar photo stability properties.

I would appreciate if you could share your recent experience with.

Thank you,

Vitaly

We recently tested seven different red fluorescent proteins in yeast;
the results are published here:
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0067902

We found that mRuby2, mKate2, and TagRFP-T performed best in terms of
brightness, photo-stability, and being minimally perturbative to fusion
proteins.  No single protein excelled in all areas, so you can look at
the data in the paper and judge for yourself. Also, how well our data in
yeast will translate to other systems remains to be seen.
