Postdoctoral position in Physiology and Structural Biology of Synaptic Receptors

The laboratory of Dr. Sudha Chakrapani in the Department of Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University is actively seeking to fill an NIH-funded postdoctoral position to study the structure, function, and pharmacology of ion channel complexes. We probe the molecular underpinnings of fast synaptic transmission using various cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approaches, including cryo-EM, Cryo-ET, electrophysiology, EPR spectroscopy, and other biophysical methods. Case Western Reserve University has an outstanding infrastructure for structural biology research, including the Titan Krios 3Gi, Glacios, and Aquilos-2 microscopes.Minimum Educational and Experience RequiredPhD Degree (or expected soon) in physiology, structural biology, biochemistry, pharmacology, or closely related discipline with 0-4 years of postdoctoral experience. While not a prerequisite, prior experience in membrane protein biochemistry, patch-clamp electrophysiology, cellular neuroscience, or Cryo-EM is preferred. Excellent oral and written communication are essential. Strong project management and scientific writing skills are expected.Proposed Salary RangeNIH salary scaleHow to apply?Interested candidates are requested to contact Dr. Sudha Chakrapani at
