Job description for Biophysical Society Job posting (12/19/2017)
To participate in NIH-funded projects, studying the regulation of protein trafficking in cardiac myocytes.
We are investigating how adult ventricular myocytes modulate the configurations and overall durations of their action potentials under basal conditions vs under chronic stress, in the context of surface expression of their ion channels. We also use heterologous mammalian expression systems for proof-of-principle experiments. Our experimental techniques include molecular biology, patch clamp recording, imaging (confocal, super-resolution, TIRF, and transmission electron microscopy), and protein/lipid biochemistry.
The Postdoctoral Fellow is expected to participate in all of the above experiments, and is encouraged to explore new research methods and broaden the scope of our projects. He/she will be guided and assisted in writing manuscripts and preparing grant applications, in preparation for transition to a career in academia, industry or government.
Job requirements
PhD degree in biochemistry, physiology, molecular/cell biology and/or biophysics.
Experience in molecular biology (e.g. mutagenesis, qRT-PCR) and biochemistry and cell biology (e.g. immunoblotting, confocal microscopy). Additional experience in patch clamping is an important advantage, as well as experience in handling small animals.
Job details
1-2 years, no travel, Minimum education PhD, minimum experience 1-2 years, salary $49K to $51K/yr, entry level
