About this position

Research Associate position in the laboratory of Dr. Jeannie Chen at the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.

The project centers on phototransduction in rod and cone photoreceptors and the biological mechanisms that drive retinal degeneration and blindness. The lab uses rodent models and cell culture to investigate photoreceptor function, calcium signaling, inherited retinal diseases, GPCR biology, and protein misfolding and aggregation.

The successful candidate will develop and carry out independent research projects under the PI’s guidance. Work will include experimental design, data collection, analysis and interpretation, presentation of findings, manuscript preparation, contribution to grant writing, and support for laboratory quality control, safety, and animal protocol compliance.

The environment is described as collaborative, with opportunities to contribute to a NIH-funded research program and potentially mentor junior laboratory members.

What's required

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in neuroscience, molecular or cellular biology, biochemistry, vision science, or a related field. A minimum of 1 year of directly related research experience is required, with advanced knowledge of equipment, procedures, and analysis methods. Preferred experience includes molecular and cellular biology techniques such as PCR or qRT-PCR, Western blotting, retinal tissue preparation, in vitro and in vivo mouse work, cell culture, immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, calcium imaging, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, and image analysis. Experience in photoreceptor biology, phototransduction, calcium signaling, retinal degeneration, protein trafficking, or protein misfolding is particularly valuable.
