We are seeking an outstanding and highly-motivated individual with a doctoral degree in biomedical sciences. This individual will work on a NIH-funded project that investigates the molecular mechanisms of alcohol intoxication and general anesthesia. The main subjects of this study are potassium channels expressed in nerve cells (Mol. Pharm. 70(5):1542-54, 2006). Although alcohol intoxication and general anesthesia are well known medical entities, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. The study of this problem at the atomic level is the next frontier. This job opening is an exciting opportunity to investigate a fundamental problem with high medical relevance. Preference will be given to individuals with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics and/or structural biology. Candidates must be US citizens or US permanent residents.
