About the Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to engage in research and further their expertise in the field of ligand-gated ion channel pharmacology. Our laboratory explores peptides that modulate the activity of ion channels involved in human disease.

Key Responsibilities
  • Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, and publish in reputable journals.
  • Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, and provide performance feedback and training.
  • Develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, and engage in internal service roles and committees.
About the Role

This is a research-focused position that requires expertise in two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiological characterisation of ligand-gated ion channels. The successful candidate will be involved in all aspects of the project and is expected to efficiently manage service and engagement roles and activities.

About You
  • Completion of a PhD with a focus on the interaction of peptide modulators with ligand-gated ion channels.
  • Expertise in two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiological characterisation of ligand-gated ion channels.
  • Experience with Australian quarantine regulations and quarantine material handling and processes.
What We Offer

The University of Queensland offers a dynamic and inclusive work environment, with opportunities for career growth and development. We are committed to attracting, retaining, and promoting diverse talent.
