Postdoctoral Fellow, Neurology

Company: University of Texas Medical Branch

Posted on: June 12, 2021

Job Description:

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:The Limon lab uses pioneering methods to understand electrical and chemical responses of human neural receptors and ion channels in the multiple dimensions of time, space and domain (gene and protein expression, biophysics, pharmacology and physiology). By recording the electrical activity of reactivated, native synaptic receptors extracted from healthy and diseased human brains and by integrating this functional information with transcriptomic and proteomic datasets we gain access to processes that are most likely occurring in living human brains affected by neurodegenerative disorders. This information is critical to develop target-directed pharmacological interventions to promote synaptic resilience to neuropathological processes.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Ph.D., M.D. or Doctoral equivalent in any field. Scientific research experience.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Candidate should have a strong record of publications written by the applicant and published or accepted in reputable peer reviewed journals. Expertise in electrophysiology is preferred but not required

SALARY:

Commensurate with experience
