Postdoctoral Fellow in Retinal Neurobiology Full-time
University of California Irvine
Irvine, CA
An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately to study the physiological properties of mammalian photoreceptors. We are seeking an energetic, highly motivated recent PhD, MD, or MD/PhD graduate with solid publication record and vision research-related experience in neuroscience, electrophysiology, biophysics, or biochemistry. The specific project will be tailored to the interests and qualifications of the applicant but will focus broadly on using electrophysiological tools to study the phototransduction cascade, adaptation, and the visual cycle of mammalian photoreceptors, and their link to retinal degeneration and visual disorders. Prior experience in electrophysiology is not required but good analytical and communication skills are essential. For details on recent research see https://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=6984. The successful candidate will have access to state-of-the-art lab equipment and departmental core facilities, as well as to the great research community in one of the top public universities in the USA located in beautiful Southern California. To apply, please email cover letter, curriculum vitae, and list of references to: Dr. Vladimir Kefalov, Gavin Herbert Eye Institute & Center for Translational Vision Research University of California, Irvine.
