Full job description
Vacancy ID: PDS004949
Position Summary/Description:
The Department of Pharmacology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate the molecular and structural mechanisms that regulate G protein-coupled receptor ( GPCR ) signaling pathways in the laboratory of Dr. Henrik Dohlman. The successful candidate will leverage expertise in structural biology, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), protein biochemistry, and cell signaling to characterize receptor complexes, G protein signaling networks, kinase-mediated regulatory mechanisms, and downstream signaling events. Research efforts will focus on understanding the molecular basis of GPCR and G protein regulation, including mechanisms of signal desensitization, allosteric communication, and disease-associated signaling dysfunction, with the goal of advancing our understanding of signal transduction processes relevant to human health and disease.
Education and Experience:
Experience in GPCR signaling, receptor regulation, or cell signaling research.
Expertise in cryo-EM, protein biochemistry, and molecular biology techniques.
Strong record of scientific productivity, including publications and presentations.
Excellent communication, organizational, and collaborative skills.
Experience mentoring undergraduate and graduate trainees
