Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Patch-Clamp Electrophysiology, Ion Channels, and Renal/Vascular

Hiring Department Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Center, University of Missouri,Columbia Job Description A Postdoctoral Research Fellow position is available for a highlymotivated scientist with strong hands-on experience in patch-clampelectrophysiology to study ion channel and G-protein–coupledreceptor signaling in vascular and kidney cells. The laboratory investigates the molecular and physiologicalmechanisms regulating ion channel function, calcium signaling,vascular reactivity, hypertension, and kidney injury. Ongoingstudies combine electrophysiology with molecular, cellular, andfunctional approaches to understand the regulation of ion channelsand related signaling pathways in renal and vascular cells. The successful candidate will have opportunities to leadmechanistic studies, publish high-quality research, presentfindings at scientific meetings, contribute to grant-fundedprojects, and develop toward an independent research career. All duties and research activities will be conducted in accordancewith institutional policies, ethical research standards, andapplicable federal regulations. Qualifications Applicants should have: A PhD, MD/PhD, or equivalent doctoral degree in physiology,pharmacology, neuroscience, biophysics, molecular biology, or arelated field Candidates will be evaluated on: Demonstrated expertise in patch-clamp electrophysiology Experience with molecular and cellular biology techniques A strong record of research productivity and peer-reviewedpublications Strong analytical, communication, and scientific writingskills The ability to work independently and collaboratively in amultidisciplinary research environment Candidates should be highly motivated, technically rigorous,dependable, and genuinely interested in electrophysiology and ionchannel biology. Additional experience with ion channel physiology, calcium imaging,vascular smooth muscle or endothelial cells, renal cells,transgenic rodent models, or pressure/wire myography would beadvantageous but is not required.
