Job Description:

The Center for Advanced Pain Studies at UT Dallas has an opening for a Research Assistant I to join the Price Lab and support patch clamp electrophysiology studies.

This specific position will work on NIH grant funded projects that are aimed at understanding the mechanisms and treatments of chronic pain in preclinical models and with human tissues recovered from organ donors. The applicant should have experience with patch clamp electrophysiology, cell culture, and tissue dissociation. This position will provide technical assistance for various research projects and conducts research activities according to research protocol.

The Price laboratory is interested in the fundamental principles underlying neuronal plasticity leading to chronic pain. The lab aims to develop novel therapeutics based on these discoveries with the potential to either prevent the development of or permanently reverse chronic pain states. We focus on two major areas: plasticity in peripheral nociceptive neurons following injury and plasticity in central nervous system circuits that result from persistent stimulation of peripheral nociceptors. We utilize molecular, biochemical, genetic, behavioral, imaging and electrophysiological techniques combined with an overarching interest in pharmacology and drug discovery to tackle this problem.

This position is 100% grant funded. Continued employment is contingent on the availability of funds and satisfactory job performance.
