Highlights:
- 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: Professor of Pediatrics, Computational Neuroscience, Molecular Medicine, Neurobiology, and Physiology; sangoldstein@uchicago.edu
