We are seeking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow who holds a Ph.D. in, physiology, genetics, or a related field.
Our research laboratory aims to understand the relationship between structure and function of sensory ion channels (e.g., mechanosensitive ion channels) using a multi-disciplinary approach that includes molecular biology, C. elegans behavior, and electrophysiology. The fellow will investigate the molecular basis by which different sensory receptors are modulated by lipids.
Prior lab experience working with invertebrate animal models and molecular biology or genetics are required. Programming and imaging experience are a plus. The position will offer many opportunities to learn and apply a variety of functional and biochemical techniques to study sensory ion channels, such as molecular biology, animal behavior, patch clamp, two-electrode voltage clamp, and calcium imaging.
Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and names and addresses of 3 references to Dr. Valeria Vásquez, Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, 71 S. Manassas St, Memphis, TN 38163, USA. vvasquez@uthsc.com More information: http://corderovasquezlab.weebly.com
