Postdoctoral Fellow - Portland, United States - OHSU
Description
Department Overview
The Vollum Institute is a privately endowed research institute at Oregon Health & Science University dedicated to basic research that will lead to new treatments for neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Their work has transformed the field of neuroscience and, in particular, have provided important advances in the study of synaptic transmission, neuronal development, neurotransmitter transporters, ion channels and the neurobiology of disease.
This position is full-time and the responsibilities are to conduct research exploring the structural and biophysical mechanisms of synaptic transmission by elucidating the structures of neurotransmitter receptors or transporters, and their synapses, or elements of the auditory transduction complex, by single particle cryo-EM and cryo-electron tomography studies, in combination with complementary biochemical experiments.
Oregon Health & Science University values a diverse and culturally competent workforce.
We are proud of our commitment to being an equal opportunity, affirmative action organization that does not discriminate against applicants on the basis of any protected class status, including disability status and protected veteran status.
