About this position

The Price Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to lead and expand a human neural tissue procurement program in partnership with the Southwest Transplant Alliance.

The project centers on the recovery and scientific use of nervous system and spine tissues from organ donors, including dorsal root ganglia, spinal cord, trigeminal ganglia, lumbar and cervical vertebrae, intervertebral disc material, peripheral nerves, and brain tissue. These human samples will support translational research into the molecular mechanisms of chronic pain and spine degeneration.

The researcher will work at the interface of clinical donation, surgical tissue recovery, and basic neuroscience. Research activities include processing and preserving tissue for RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, histology, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, and other functional assays. The role also involves developing independent projects using human tissue and primary cells through extensive in vitro cellular studies.

In addition to research, the postdoctoral researcher will help establish standard operating procedures for tissue recovery, handling, quality control, transportation, donor metadata, chain-of-custody documentation, and sample tracking. The researcher will collaborate with transplant-alliance personnel, organ-recovery coordinators, and surgical teams, while contributing to manuscripts, presentations, grant applications, and the training of students and research staff.

The Price Lab provides a translational neuroscience environment focused on using human nervous tissue to identify and validate therapeutic targets for pain and spine disease.

Funding details

The salary range is $63,480, depending on qualifications, paid monthly. The position may be grant funded, and continued employment depends on funding availability and satisfactory performance. Benefits include tuition benefits, medical insurance options including 100% paid employee medical coverage for full-time employees, AD&D insurance, dental and vision plans, optional disability insurance, retirement benefits, fertility benefits, and paid time off.

What's required

A Ph.D. in a related field is required; candidates who have completed all doctoral requirements but are awaiting formal conferral may begin with official certification from their institution. Preferred qualifications include extensive hands-on experience with neurosurgical or neuroanatomical surgical techniques, including dissection and recovery of spinal and peripheral nervous tissue. Candidates should have experience handling human tissue, biosafety and compliance training, strong organizational and documentation skills, excellent written and verbal communication, the ability to work independently in time-sensitive situations, willingness to respond to on-call recoveries involving nights, weekends, holidays, and regional travel, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation.
