Job Title:
Postdoctoral and junior faculty positions at Penn State College of Medicine
Job Number:
76399
Location:
Hershey, US
Job Description
The Penn State College of Medicine, Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, and the Mnatsakanyan Laboratory in Hershey, PA are seeking applications for post-doctoral or research scientist (research faculty) positions. The candidate will work on a multidisciplinary research project combining electrophysiology (patch-clamp and planar lipid bilayer recordings), cryo-electron microscopy, microscale thermophoresis, and animal models of Alzheimer’s disease to study the mitochondria-mediated cell death mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. The candidate will be involved in large-scale protein expression and purification, protein-ligand binding affinity (microscale thermophoresis), electrophysiology, as well as mitochondrial physiology studies (Oroboros instrument), to investigate the structure and function of mitochondrial channels/transporters (ATP synthase, etc.) and their role in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. The selected individual will be expected to assist in developing, designing, and conducting research and will gain the training needed to become an independent researcher in the growing field of mitochondrial physiology.
Minimum Qualifications:
Qualified candidates for the postdoctoral position should have a Ph.D. in biophysics, biochemistry, neuroscience, or related fields. Experience in one of the following areas is preferred: mitochondrial physiology, protein biochemistry/biophysics, structural biology, ion channel electrophysiology.
Application Process:
Interested candidates should apply by using the link below and by submitting a CV to Dr. Nelli Mnatsakanyan (email: [Please click the Apply button for the link or email]).
