Job Opportunities
To apply please send CV to Dr. Kirill Martemyanov at kirill@scripps.edu
Graduate Students:
Our lab is open for rotations. Prospective Graduate Students are welcome!
Postdoctoral Scientists:
We currently have two positions available immediately.
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology of G protein Signal Transduction
The project will focus on delineating roles of the RGS proteins and associated signaling molecules in the synaptic transmission between the neurons of brain and retina. We are particularly interested in candidates with substantial experience with the use of electrophysiological approaches for the characterization of neuronal signaling. It is expected that postdoctoral scientist will be using a range of the molecular, cellular, and behavioral approaches to study functional regulation of G protein signaling pathways in reconstituted systems and genetic animal models.
Molecular Physiology of Cardiac Signaling
We are looking for an energetic colleague with keen interest in science and solid background in the areas of physiology, molecular and cell biology. Experience with electrophysiological approaches and/or genetic mouse models for investigation of cardiovascular function is highly desired. The main research emphasis of the project is expected to be on delineating functional role of macromolecular signaling complexes involving RGS proteins and GIRK channels in cardiomyocytes.
TSRI embraces diversity & recognizes it as being a key to our success. EOE/M/F/V/D
About the Lab:
The laboratory is a part of the Department of Neuroscience and Department of Metabolism & Aging at Scripps-Florida. The laboratory employs a wide range of approaches spanning from enzyme kinetics and protein-protein interactions to imaging of protein trafficking and second messenger signaling in live cells, mass-spectrometry assisted proteomics, as well as development and functional characterization of knockout/transgenic mouse models including behavioral and electrophysiological measurements.
