Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our academic community.
We are seeking a self-motivated research specialist to join the laboratories of Dr. Stephen F. Traynelis at the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, Emory University School of Medicine. The research focus of our laboratory is the function of glutamate NMDA receptors, disease-associated genetic variations in NMDA receptor subunits encoded by GRIN genes, and the development of subunit-selective compounds that can correct the altered NMDA receptor function. The candidate will be responsible for performing molecular biology (DNA and RNA preparation, sequencing alignment, Xenopus oocyte preparation) and electrophysiological experiments (e.g. two electrode voltage clamp recordings in Xenopus laevis oocytes), and biochemical assays evaluating surface expression. Other laboratory responsibilities include lab maintenance and organizing and categorizing compound samples and cDNA/RNA. Bachelor’s degree required. A degree in biology, neuroscience, pharmacology, or a related field is preferred. Previous experience with molecular biology and/or electrophysiology is plus.
