About this position
The University of Miami is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in Physiology and Biophysics to contribute to experimental neuroscience research in Miami, Florida. The position focuses on how nerve cells communicate and how neuronal signaling contributes to brain function, behavior, addiction, movement disorders, learning disabilities, and other neurological and psychiatric disorders.
The researcher will perform patch-clamp electrophysiology, neuronal recording, synaptic physiology, and ion channel studies. The work combines electrophysiology with live-cell imaging, genetically encoded sensors, optogenetics, and molecular and cellular biology techniques. Genetically modified mouse models and behavioral studies will be used to investigate brain circuits, behavior, and disease mechanisms.
The role also supports research focused on drug discovery for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including investigation of proteins and signaling pathways that regulate communication between nerve cells and brain circuits. The postdoctoral associate will help plan, conduct, analyze, and report research findings while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
The research environment is based within the University of Miami and its academic health system, where scientific research is integrated with medical education and patient care. The successful researcher will be expected to contribute to technical papers, scientific reports, grant and manuscript preparation, and the mentoring of trainees.
