Postdoctoral Positions

Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Physiology of Membrane Transport


A postdoctoral fellow position is available under the direction of Bryan Mackenzie, PhD [research description] to study the molecular mechanisms, structure-function, and regulation of membrane transport proteins. Our primary focus is an NIH-funded project to study transporters serving iron and other metal ions, and their role in metal-ion absorption. Other projects underway include amino acid transporters in neurotransmission and vitamin C transport. We seek postdoctoral candidates with skills and experience in fluorescence techniques, electrophysiology, or molecular biology. A willingness to learn these approaches is essential. To apply (by September 1, 2009), please provide via email a single pdf file containing a cover letter (including a statement of career goals), curriculum vitae (CV), and contact information for two referees to: Bryan Mackenzie, PhD.
University of Cincinnati is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, disabled persons, and Vietnam Era and disabled veterans are encouraged to apply.
Postdoctoral Position in Cardio-Renal Physiology

A postdoctoral fellow position is available in a research program devoted to the study of renal control of blood pressure primarily through the use of a wide variety of mutant mouse models [research description]. Investigations and training will include in vivo and in vitro characterization of cardiovascular and renal function in mice using state-of-the-art techniques at the cell, tissue and whole animal level. Approaches include telemetry, determination of pressure-flow relationships and hemodynamics, evaluation of renal function at the whole kidney level as well as at the single nephron level by microperfusion and micropuncture, measurement of nerve activity, and analysis of intracellular ion concentration using epifluorescence, confocal and multi-photon microscopy. Current areas of investigation are focused on the gastrointestinal control of renal electrolyte excretion, and the role of various epithelial ion transporters in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance. A doctoral degree and experience in cardio-renal physiology/pharmacology is required; fluency in both spoken and written English is essential. Applicants should send a CV, a brief statement of career goals and objectives, and a list of three references to: John Lorenz, PhD, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Department of Molecular & Cellular Physiology, PO Box 670576, Cincinnati, OH 45267-0576, USA. Electronic applications (preferably pdf) are strongly encouraged.

Postdoctoral Positions in Membrane Transport and Gastrointestinal Physiology

Postdoctoral fellow positions are available to study the regulation of membrane transport proteins and epithelial barrier function within the primary context of gastrointestinal physiology. Positions are available in the laboratory of Marshall Montrose, PhD [research description] studying Na/H exchange activation in native tissue and cultured cell models, and mechanisms of turnover and damage repair in the intestinal epithelia. We seek postdoctoral candidates with skills and experience in fluorescence techniques, and a willingness to learn these approaches is essential. Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis and must be submitted electronically. Please email a cover letter (including a brief statement of career goals and objectives), CV, and contact information for two referees to Marshall Montrose.

Technician / Research Assistant Positions

Research Assistant in Molecular Physiology of Membrane Transport


A Research Assistant position is available under the direction of Bryan Mackenzie, PhD [research description] to study the molecular physiology, mechanisms, structure-function, and regulation of membrane transport proteins. Our primary focus is an NIH-funded project to study transporters serving iron and other metal ions, and their role in metal-ion absorption. Other projects underway include amino acid transporters in neurotransmission and vitamin C transport. The approaches we use include the voltage clamp, radiotracer assays and fluorescence-based assays in RNA-injected Xenopus oocytes, together with the use of genetically-modified animal models. We seek research assistant candidates with a degree in biomedical or physical sciences. Experience in fluorescence techniques, molecular biology, or animal husbandry is desirable but not required. Responsibilities include performing experiments, analyzing data, database management, and maintaining a clean and orderly lab. To apply (by September 1, 2009), please upload a cover letter and your resume (including GPAs and references) and complete the online application at http://www.jobsatuc.com using Job Number 29UC5958.
