About this position

The Liman Lab in the Neurobiology Department at the University of Southern California is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to join a research program on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of sensory transduction. The project centers on proton-selective ion channels (OTOPs) and their roles in cellular physiology, with particular emphasis on taste and related sensory systems.

The lab’s work builds on prior discoveries about OTOP1 as a proton channel and sour taste receptor, along with studies of channel gating, ammonium salt taste, OTOP1 structure, and small-molecule inhibitors. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to ongoing efforts to understand how OTOP family members function and how they shape physiology in vivo.

Research projects may involve structure-function analysis of OTOP channels, mechanisms of proton conduction and channel gating, and studies of OTOP channel contributions to taste and other physiological processes using transgenic mouse models. Another possible direction is the discovery of modulators or inhibitors of proton channels.

The position offers a collaborative, data-driven research environment within USC Dornsife and the wider university community, with work spanning electrophysiology, molecular biology, imaging, and in vivo experimentation. The advertised role is embedded in an active neuroscience setting at a major research university in Los Angeles.

Funding details

Grant-funded position; competitive NIH-scale salary of $70,304.00 with generous benefits.

What's required

PhD in Neuroscience, Physiology, Biophysics, Molecular Biology, or a related field is required. Applicants should have a strong foundation in electrophysiology (whole-cell, excised patch, or similar) or advanced molecular biology/transgenic mouse design and testing. Experience with heterologous expression systems, primary cells, or mouse models is a plus. Evidence of productivity such as first-author publications or preprints is preferred.

How to apply

Apply through the USC Workday posting using the application link provided. Upload a resume with publications and a cover letter stating your research interests and career goals as one file if needed. Submit the application only after attaching the required documents.
