UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Postdoctoral Fellowship
A POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP is available to study ion channel
structure and function.
We investigate voltage-gated potassium channels, voltage-gated
sodium channels, and background potassium channels. We focus
on determinants of basic operation, including regulation by
accessory subunits, and pathophysiological mechanisms of disease
in the heart and nervous system.
The techniques we use include whole-cell, patch and COVG electrophysiology,
Forster and Lanthanide resonance energy transfer, voltage-clamp
spectroscopy, confocal and single-molecule fluorescence microscopy,
protein purification, crystallography, phage display, and molecular
biology. We work most often with Xenopus oocytes, mammalian
tissue culture cells, and primary neurons in culture.
Priority will be given to applicants with a recent Ph.D. in
biophysics, physiology, or a related field, and electrophysiology
experience. An ability to think quantitatively and to communicate
clearly is required. To apply please submit a statement of
research interests, CV and the names/email addresses of 3 references
to:
Steve A. N. Goldstein M.A., M.D., Ph.D., F.A.A.P.
Professor of Pediatrics, Computational Neuroscience, Molecular
Medicine, Neurobiology, and Physiology; sangoldstein@uchicago.edu
