St Louis, Missouri, United States Saint Louis University Full time
About the Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team at the Edward A. Doisy Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct cutting-edge research in the field of ion channels and membrane proteins, with a focus on investigating the fundamental mechanisms underlying ion channels of excitable membranes.
  • Employ a multidisciplinary approach that combines structural biology, chemical biology, genetics, fluorescence microscopy, and electrophysiology.
  • Collaborate with our team to develop and implement new research directions, including the use of advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques and state-of-the-art frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.
  • Contribute to the preparation of research papers, presentations, and other scientific communications.
Research Directions

We are currently pursuing two main research directions:

Voltage-Sensing Mechanisms of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels
  • Investigate the mechanisms underlying voltage-gated ion channels that play a crucial role in various diseases, including chronic pain, cardiac arrhythmia, and epileptic seizures.
  • Develop and apply advanced techniques, including patch-clamp fluorometry, Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the use of fluorescent noncanonical amino acids.
Lipid-Mediated Regulation of Ion Channels and Lipid Membranes
  • Elucidate the mechanisms involved in the lipid-mediated regulation of ion channels and the dynamics of lipid membranes, which are critical factors in inflammatory and neuropathic pain, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and viral infections.
  • Employ a range of techniques, including whole-cell fluorometry, calcium imaging, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, and fluorescence lifetime imaging.
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in a relevant field, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, or biophysics.
  • Strong publication record in biophysics and biochemistry, with a focus on ion channels or membrane proteins.
  • Experience in patch-clamp electrophysiology or fluorescence cell imaging using advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques.
What We Offer
  • A competitive salary and benefits package.
  • The opportunity to work with a talented team of researchers and contribute to cutting-edge research in the field.
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including a frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.
