Neurophysiology Laboratory
Medical University of South Carolina
NIH funded project examining addiction with a focus on stress and cues. Develop your research profile under the guidance of experts in their field. This is a Full-time fixed term 2 year appointment.

MUSC Department of Neurosciences in Charleston SC brings together a large group of expert neuropharmacological researchers and a range of laboratory facilities to create outstanding opportunities for research in the neurosciences of addiction. We are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and highly-motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate who wishes to gain specific experience in electrophysiological recording in brain slices together with two photon microscopy imaging to determine mechanisms responsible for relapse to drug seeking. You will perform combined electrophysiological and two-photon imaging research focused on GPCRs, the function of inhibitory ion channels and calcium release from intracellular stores in brain slices from rats and mice. This quantitative strategy will be coupled with optogenetics and operant training behavioral paradigms including self-administration to determine cellular adaptations in neuronal circuitry.

Successful candidates will have:
-PhD in biological or medical sciences
-Experience in designing and performing complex pharmacological and intracellular signal transduction experiments
-Demonstrated laboratory skills in patch clamp analyses of cellular electrophysiology in isolated neurons and cultured cells, or brain slices
-Experience in either confocal or two-photon microscopy in living cells (desirable)
-Ability to work as a part of a team and strategically contribute to research outcomes, including a demonstrated willingness to liaise with a range of senior scientists and other postgraduate research students.

This role presents an opportunity to further develop your research career in neuropharmacology in a team led by experts in their field.
