Post-doctoral Position – Mitochondrial Ion Channels
A post-doctoral fellowship position is available to characterize mitochondrial ion channels involved in protection against hypoxia. To date the project has focused on the molecular identification of mitochondrial potassium channels in both C. elegans and mouse (see PMIDs 20185796, 19242645, 18809388). A critical next phase is the electrophysiological characterization of inner membrane ion channels in their native context. To accomplish this goal, the successful candidate will patch-clamp mitoplasts from gene-deleted organisms, including both C. elegans and mouse.
This interdisciplinary and multiple-PI project will take advantage of local strengths in mitochondrial physiology, ion channel biophysics, and model organism genetics. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in an appropriate discipline and a strong track record with publications in the fields of electrophysiology and/or ion channel biophysics.
The University of Rochester is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates from under-represented minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
