Job Board:
May 23rd, 2019.
University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, TN U.S.A is seeking a Research Assistant/Scientist for Neuroscience under the direction of the Principal Investigator (Dr. Thirumalini Vaithianathan). The Research Assistant/Scientist will be responsible for conducting research focused on studying the local Ca2+ signaling in retinal bipolar cells, a class of neuron critical to transmitting extremely fast, precise and sustained neurotransmission that is critical for the perception of complex senses such as vision. Our laboratory recently developed Nanophysiology approach for tracking single synaptic vesicles and measure Ca2+ signals at a single active zone with millisecond precision. Therefore, the Research Assistant/Scientist will be primarily engaged in conducting experiments focused on the molecular mechanism regulating local Ca2+ domains in normal and degenerative disease utilizing state-of-the-art imaging, electrophysiological, electron microscopy, and pharmacological tools in retinal bipolar neurons from transgenic zebrafish and mouse models. Some of the projects involve collaborations with researchers at Yale University.
Preferences will be given to candidates with a strong background in neuroscience with expertise in physiological assays, including patch clamp experience, coupled with morphological methods at the confocal and light sheet microscope level. Experience in protein, DNA and RNA manipulation and characterization, and cell culture is a plus. However, highly motivated individuals with less experience will also be considered. Salary commensurate with experience.
