This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to engage in research to further their expertise and growing research profile to achieve national recognition in the field of ligand-gated ion channel pharmacology.
Key Responsibilities- Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, seek and manage research funding, publish in reputable journals, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions.
- Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits.
- Develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, engage in internal service roles and committees, perform administrative functions, provide support to colleagues, and uphold university values.
This is a research-focused position that requires expertise in two-electrode voltage clamp electrophysiological characterization of ligand-gated ion channels, experience with Australian quarantine regulations and quarantine material handling and processes, and knowledge of the structure, function, and pharmacology of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), particularly ASIC1a.
Requirements- 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 characterization of ligand-gated ion channels.
- Experience with Australian quarantine regulations and quarantine material handling and processes.
- Experience with Xenopus frog surgery and procurement, handling and maintenance of Xenopus oocytes.
- Knowledge of the structure, function, and pharmacology of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), particularly ASIC1a.
- Proficiency in analysis of electrophysiological data using GraphPad Prism.
- Skilled in protein and peptide purification and analytical characterization (liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry).
- Experience with fluorescence-based microplate cell assays.
- Experience with mammalian cell culture, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) generation and handling, and associated assay development.
- Demonstrated ability to accurately record complex data and provide detailed technical reports.
- Evidence of publications in reputed refereed journals and presentations at conferences.
- A commitment to participating in a diverse, equitable, inclusive and safe research laboratory environment.
- Evidence of productive interactions with biotech companies.
The University of Queensland offers a competitive salary, a comprehensive benefits package, and a dynamic work environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.
