About The Position
We are seeking a self-motivated research specialist to join the laboratories of Dr. Stephen F. Traynelis at the Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, Emory University School of Medicine. The research focus of our laboratory is the function of glutamate NMDA receptors, disease-associated genetic variations in NMDA receptor encoding GRIN genes, and the development of subunit-selective compounds that can correct the altered NMDA receptor function. The candidate will be responsible for performing molecular biology (DNA and RNA preparation, sequencing alignment, Xenopus oocyte preparation) and electrophysiological experiments (e.g. two electrode voltage clamp recordings in Xenopus laevis oocytes), and biochemical assays evaluating surface expression. Other laboratory responsibilities include lab maintenance and organizing and categorizing compound samples and cDNA/RNA.
