Hi Professor Kelley,

Hope all is well. If you recall, I was in touch with you last year 
during my endeavor to bring together a symposium around the role of glia 
in CNS disorders. I am contacting you this time to ask a favor: we have 
an open position in the area of neuroinflammation and mood disorders 
(see below); it will be very helpful if you may circulate the opening to 
the department postdocs working in the similar areas.

Regards,

Anindya

JOB OPENING

http://jobs.jnj.com/job/San-Diego-SCIENTIST%2C-NEUROINFLAMMATION-MOOD-DSCORDERS-Job-CA-92101/81096200/

SCIENTIST, NEUROINFLAMMATION - MOOD DISORDERS-1639140805

*Description*

Janssen Research & Development, L.L.C. is recruiting for a Scientist 
(Neuroinflammation-Mood Disorders) specializing in neuro-glial 
interactions to join the Neuroscience Discovery group, located in La 
Jolla, CA.

Janssen Research & Development, L.L.C. develops treatments that improve 
the health of people worldwide. Research and development areas encompass 
novel therapeutics for neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, 
oncology, infectious disease, cardiovascular disorders, metabolic 
disorders, and immunologic and inflammatory disorders.

Thriving on a diverse company culture, celebrating the uniqueness of our 
employees and committed to inclusion. Proud to be an equal opportunity 
employer.

We are seeking a highly motivated neuroscientist with research interest 
on neuroinflammation to join our Neuroscience Discovery research team, 
devoted to the discovery and development of novel therapeutics for 
neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The successful candidate 
will contribute to our understanding of the role of neuroinflammatory 
mediators in the (patho) physiology of mental disorders, with an 
emphasis on understanding the role of glial function, activation, and 
modulation of synaptic plasticity in the context of mental disorders. 
The goal will be to generate proof of concept data (in-vivo and 
in-vitro) to support Neuroscience Discovery project teams. To understand 
neuro-glia interaction, the candidate will design, develop and implement 
both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments using a variety of techniques and 
skills including (but not limited to) primary glial cell cultures and 
optimizing assays for candidate genes/proteins , genetic modification of 
cells/tissue/animals to answer specific questions in the space of 
psychoneuroimmunology, and handling/dosing/manipulating laboratory 
animals (rats/mice) to study markers of neuroinflammation in the context 
of mood disorders. The candidate must be innovative, motivated, and be 
able to test hypotheses spanning both in-vitro and in-vivo experiments, 
as it relates to the role of neuroinflammation in mood disorders.

The candidate must have an in-depth understanding of brain function, 
behavior and immunity, and be proficient in pharmacological manipulation 
of drug targets. In addition, the candidate will participate in target 
identification and target validation, be engaged and participate in 
Neuroscience Discovery projects as needed. The ideal candidate will have 
a demonstrated ability to develop innovative approaches to answering 
questions about neuro-glia interactions at the cellular and tissue 
level, and a high degree of interaction with other team members and 
collaborators.

*Qualifications*


The qualified candidate will have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Neurobiology, 
or Pharmacology with approximately 2-3 years of postdoctoral research 
experience in the field of 
neuroscience/neuroinflammation/psychoneuroimmunology. Both in-vitro and 
in-vivo laboratory experience is critical. A strong publication record 
to the field of glial cell biology is required. They will also have 
demonstrated the ability to develop and validate innovative techniques 
to study the functional role of glial cells within the central nervous 
system. Experimental work is an extremely important part of the role and 
the successful candidate will spend a significant part of his/her time 
at the bench. It is essential that the successful candidate enjoys bench 
science, is scientifically curious, is self-motivated, but also a strong 
team player, and is able to demonstrate a high level of productivity. 
Strong interpersonal skills, the ability to interact well with peers and 
collaborators, and strong written and oral communication skills are 
vital to success in this role. This position is located in La Jolla, CA 
and may require <10% travel.
