POSTDOC OPPORTUNITY
A postdoctoral position is available to work on the problem of coupling between different ion channels in electrically excitable tissues. The project entails cryo-EM, electrophysiology, and protein biophysics, and will make use of our state-of-the-art high-resolution EM facility (https://cryoem.med.ubc.ca/), dedicated patch clamp and planar lipid bilayer electrophysiology setups, as well as all tools to express and purify proteins from bacterial and mammalian cells.
We foster a diverse and inclusive lab environment and are looking for motivated lab members that share these values. Postdoctoral fellows receive the opportunity to join the Biochemistry Postdoctoral Scholar program at UBC. Joining the lab also means joining our local community of labs and clinicians interested in ion channels and their associated diseases.
We are looking for motivated individuals with a recent PhD (obtained within the last 4 years) using either structural biology (crystallography, NMR, or cryo-EM) or electrophysiology. All applications can be sent to filip.vanpetegem'at'ubc.ca Please include an updated CV, names and contact details for 3 references, and describe your motivation to join the team. This is an excellent opportunity for structural biologists to learn complementary methods, or for electrophysiologists to get exposed to structural biology methods.
