What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Researcher position at University of Rochester Medical Center?
POSTDOC POSITION – NEUROPHARMACOLOGY AND ORPHAN GPCRs
Orlandi Lab – Dept. of Pharmacology and Physiology - University of Rochester, NY
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in the Orlandi lab within the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Rochester, NY. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated researcher to join our team in studying orphan G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling. The research will focus on brain-enriched orphan GPCRs, aiming to define their signaling properties and identify their endogenous ligands (“deorphanization”), as well as their roles in the formation of macromolecular signaling complexes and their physiological impact on animal behavior. To this goal, we systematically apply a range of cell-based assays, biochemistry techniques, molecular cloning, imaging, mass spectrometry, and behavioral analysis of genetically modified mouse models.
Successful candidates will have recently received a PhD degree and have extensive research experience as documented by the publication record. Postdoctoral candidates with research skills in neuropharmacology are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will benefit from an excellent research environment with opportunities for career advancement and development into an independent investigator. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications, experience, and University guidelines. At the University of Rochester, we embrace diversity and inclusion as we believe they are an essential part of our success.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Please submit your CV, including contact information of three references, and a brief statement of your research interests to cesare_orlandi@urmc.rochester.edu
