Postdoctoral Associate - Martemyanov Lab

at  University of Florida

A Postdoctoral Associate position is available at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation &Technology in Jupiter, Florida. The work will be focused on unraveling molecular, cellular and behavioral mechanisms underlying function of G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways and understanding their role in nervous system function and neuropsychiatric disease. The laboratory is interested in many aspects of receptor biology. Potential projects include:

• Neurobiological mechanisms underlying synaptic connectivity and circuit function.
• Development and behavioral characterization of mouse models of neurological and psychiatric illness.
• Development and use of optical sensors to understand neuromodulation.
• Molecular and cellular mechanisms of GPCR signaling and trafficking.
• Genetic and proteomic screens to identify novel GPCR regulators.
• Structural basis of receptor signaling and drug discovery.
• Details of established essential functions for this position will be addressed/discussed during the interview process.

We are a diverse group with a variety of backgrounds in science, culture, ethnicity and ways in life. The PI is serious about mentoring and trains postdocs to become independent tenure-track investigators. Scripps Research provides an outstanding intellectual environment and access to a wide range of cutting-edge technologies.
