Publiceringsdatum2012-01-31Dina arbetsuppgifterThe strategic localisation of TRP ion channels in mammalian primary sensory neurons and epithelial cells as well as in arthropod sensory structures makes these ion channels particularly suitable as sensors of the external and internal chemical environment. Our research focuses on the role of TRP ion channels in somatosensation in mammals and arthropods, with the aim to: 1) provide new ideas for treatment of pain and other symptoms associated with somatosensory dysfunction in visceral organs, and 2) develop repellents to prevent the spread of vector-borne disease such as malaria in society.
The projects involve collaboration between groups within the Lund University working in the areas of pharmacology, structural biology and protein biochemistry. The postdoctoral researcher will work in the research group of the principal investigators (Dr Peter Zygmunt and Prof Edward Högestätt) at the pharmacology section within the department of laboratory medicine, Skåne University Hospital, and in close collaboration with co-investigators (Prof Urban Johansson and Prof Per Kjellbom) of the project. Focus will be on electrophysiological characterization of TRP ion channels expressed in native tissues, in heterologous cells or as purified in lipid bilayers.
The successful candidate will be part of the network and is expected to stay updated on the research within the network and to actively participate in common activities, e.g., to disseminate own results within the network and to assist other projects intellectually.
Önskvärda kvalifikationer
To qualify for appointment the applicant must have a PhD degree in a relevant discipline such as the life sciences, medicine, biotechnology or similar. Applicants must have proven records in patch-clamp electrophysiology including single channel recordings. A broad practical knowledge in functionality assays of ion channels (e.g., in artificial lipid membranes and heterologous cell systems) and native sensory neurons is expected. Particular importance is given to scientific excellence. Candidates should preferably also have a strong publication record.
The applicant should have demonstrated skills in practical supervision of collaborators, independent work and scientific writing. Excellent command of spoken and written English is necessary.
