About this position

The Kaoud Laboratory in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to study how TRPM7 integrates ion-channel and kinase activities to regulate cellular signaling and cancer cell plasticity.

The project offers complementary research pathways. A protein biochemistry-focused fellow may use recombinant protein expression and purification, molecular cloning and mutagenesis, biochemical assays, and structural and biophysical approaches, including cryo-electron microscopy, to investigate TRPM7 channel–kinase regulation. A molecular and cell biology-focused fellow may examine TRPM7-dependent cellular and nuclear signaling and channel function using molecular and cellular biology, patch-clamp electrophysiology, and proteomics or phosphoproteomics.

Training in complementary techniques will be tailored to the fellow’s background and interests. Research opportunities include learning patch-clamp electrophysiology and working with patient-derived cancer organoid and animal models. The fellow will contribute to experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, manuscript preparation, scientific presentations, and grant development, while also having opportunities to mentor graduate, professional, and undergraduate students.

The fellow will join a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with investigators and research cores in the Center for Molecular Interactions in Cancer Research and the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute. Scientific and career development mentoring, together with resources from the UAMS Postdoctoral Society, will support progression toward research independence and broader biomedical innovation.

Funding details

The position is funded for up to three years, with a possible extension beyond three years contingent on continued funding availability and satisfactory performance. Salary is commensurate with experience and aligned with NIH postdoctoral stipend guidelines. Benefits-eligible employees may receive medical, dental, and vision plans, leave, retirement matching, life insurance, education discounts, and other UAMS benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree by the start date in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, cancer biology, pharmacology, biophysics, pharmaceutical sciences, or a related biomedical discipline. Strong research experience is sought in either protein biochemistry/molecular biology or molecular/cell biology; prior expertise in both areas is not required. Applicants must have legal authority to work in the United States on the first day of employment. A curriculum vitae is required.

How to apply

Apply through the University of Arkansas System Career Site using the job posting's Apply button. Upload a curriculum vitae with the application. For recruiting-related questions, contact [email protected]; application materials should not be sent to that address.
