Positions
MS, PhD, MD/PhD, and medical students are welcome to rotate in our lab!
YOU WILL GAIN:
A background in Stem Cell Biology - tissue-specific and pluripotent stem cells; Neuroscience - Neurodegeneration in the context of Parkinson's Disease and other neurological disorders.
Experience in rodent models and human patient-derived cellular systems.
Experience with techniques such as animal behavior, histology and immunohistochemistry, stereological analyses, stereotaxic and other surgeries, tissue culture (human and rodent cells), cellular reprogramming technologies, a variety of cellular assays, molecular work (DNA/RNA/Protein), next generation sequencing and ‘omics’ technologies, viral vectors, microscopy/Imaging (confocal, light, epifluorescence, electron and live-cell).
Postdoctoral Fellows
Interested postdocs should send their CV directly to Dr Madhavan at lmadhavan@arizona.edu inquiring about possible openings.
Please include a description of your research background, publications, and a statement of interest.
Graduate Students
UA graduate students are welcome to discuss with Dr Madhavan about a rotation or joining the lab. Please email Dr Madhavan at lmadhavan@arizona.edu to schedule a time to meet.
If you are a future graduate student not yet at our University, please apply through the University of Arizona Graduate Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (http://www.neuroscience.arizona.edu/) and Physiological sciences (http://physiological-sciences.arizona.edu/), the Arizona Biological and Biomedical Sciences umbrella program (http://abbs.arizona.edu/html/apply.html) or via the Clinical Translational Sciences (https://cts.uahs.arizona.edu/) graduate program.
MD-PhD students should apply through the http://mdphd.medicine.arizona.edu/
Undergraduate Students
Undergraduate students are typically not accepted at the beginning of, or during, the academic year. Students MUST start early in the Summer.
Also, as projects in the lab generally take at least 2 years or more to complete, our lab would not be the right place for students solely interested in completing a one year capstone/honors thesis project.
If interested, please email Dr Madhavan at lmadhavan@arizona.edu with a description of your interest and a resume.
