About this position

The Wallrath and Drack Laboratories at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine are seeking two full-time postdoctoral researchers in the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences. The research focuses on uncovering disease mechanisms and developing therapies for human vision disorders through foundational and translational studies.

Researchers will design experiments, generate and analyze data, present findings at conferences, write manuscripts, support laboratory operations, and collaborate on human electrophysiology studies. Laboratory activities include mammalian cell culture in a BSL-2 environment, siRNA knockdown, CRISPR-based gene regulation, AAV vector design for mouse gene therapy models, fluorescence microscopy, protein purification, western analyses, mouse colony maintenance, and genetic crosses.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, or a related field, and/or an M.D. with research experience. Prior postdoctoral experience is not required. Preferred experience includes molecular biology, mammalian cell culture, microscopy, data analysis, rodent handling, and ocular electrophysiology. Strong organizational and time-management skills are required.

The position is full time at 100 percent effort, with a salary of $63,480 to commensurate. Applications require a curriculum vitae, contact details for three references, and letters of interest. The position remains open until filled.
