UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
School of Medicine
Postdoctoral Fellows
We are seeking highly qualified POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS to study
ion channel physiology at the University of Maryland School
of Medicine in Baltimore.
We investigate molecular mechanisms in voltage-activated potassium
channels and the functional role these channels in the heart
and nervous system. We have a particular focus on basic mechanisms
in the Kv11 (or ‘ERG’) family of potassium channels
and the pathophysiological mechanisms of disease-causing mutations
in human ERG channels.
The techniques the successful the postdoctoral fellow would
be expected to master include whole-cell patch-clamp electrophysiology,
confocal microscopy and fluorescence imaging, Forster resonance
energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy, protein purification,
protein interaction assays, molecular biology and cell culture.
We are working on a variety of cell preparations including
mammalian heterologous cells and native cardiac myocytes.
Priority will be given to candidates with a recent Ph.D. in
Physiology or a related field. To apply for a position please
submit a cover letter, CV and the names of 3 references to:
