Postdoctoral Position in Calcium Signaling

A postdoctoral position is available that can be filled by someone of any nationality who received her or his doctoral degree within the past five years. The initial appointment would be for two years with the possibility of extensions for an additional one to three years. This laboratory is interested in mechanisms of calcium signaling in a variety of non-excitable cell models, including epithelial cells, lymphocytes and fibroblasts. We investigate mechanisms of intracellular storage and release of calcium as well as mechanisms for regulation of calcium movements across the plasma membrane. The nature of the project will be flexible as long as it falls within these broad guidelines. Priority will be given to applicants with prior training in electrophysiology, including patch-clamp measurement of both whole cell currents and single channel activity. Postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to expand their training into new areas including molecular biology, single cell microfluorimetry, confocal, FRET and TIRF microscopy. Salaries are competitive, and the laboratory is currently well funded.

Interested individuals should send a CV and a list of three potential references to:
