Postdoctoral Fellow – Ion Channel Electrophysiology (Iowa City, IA (USA))
A postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Pharmacology, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Iowa City IA, starting from July/August, 2010 (negotiable). The laboratory is interested in studying Ion Channel modulations and cellular plasticity in neuronal excitability, in relation to pain and seizures. In particular, projects are aimed at studying the regulation of expression, trafficking, localization and functions of voltage-gated Na+/K+ channels by diverse cellular signal transduction pathways. These projects utilize primary neuronal cultures/co-cultures, biochemical, proteomic, cell/molecular biological, and electrophysiological techniques, as well as diverse rodent behavioral assays to answer important questions. Go to our lab website (http://web.me.com/dmohapatra/Mohapatra_Lab/Home.html) for more info on our research work.
To be considered for this position the applicant must have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree with thorough training/experience in patch-clamp electrophysiology (preferably on Nav and/or Kv channels), and basic knowledge in cell physiology. Experience in intracellular recordings in brain/spinal cord slices, and any of the above-mentioned techniques will be an added advantage. Salary will be according to the recently-revised NIH scale.
Women and underrepresented minorities with the required training/experience will be given preference.
The laboratory has its own tissue culture, biochemical, cell/molecular biological, electrophysiological, microscopy and rodent behavioral analysis facilities. The University of Iowa, College of Medicine has excellent central/core research facilities (Genomic, Proteomic, Microscopy & Imaging, and Gene-targeting cores) for the rapid advancement of research work.
The University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is in the top ten public medical schools in NIH funding. Iowa City is a medium-sized culturally rich city that maintains outstanding communities in the arts, sciences, and literature. There are numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. USA Today ranked Iowa City as the third best-educated city in the nation and Forbes Magazine placed Iowa City among the top 10 small metropolitan areas for business.
