Certain naturally anoxia tolerant animals, such as freshwater turtles, goldfish and pond snails, offer models of natural anoxia-tolerance and anesthetic mechanisms for investigation. In the Buck Lab we explore these cellular mechanisms in these animals using electrophysiological, fluorescent imaging, biochemical and molecular biological techniques. Candidates with electro-physiological training are especially encouraged to apply but all applicants will be considered. PhD positions begin in 2011 and candidates should apply through the Cell & Systems Biology website at csb.utoronto.ca/graduate. Postdoctoral fellows should apply directly to the Buck lab and the position will begin at a mutually agreeable time.
