Post Doctoral Fellow

Postdoctoral Position in Mitochondrial Biology (electrophysiology)
The GargLab in the Department of Physiology at the University of Maryland Baltimore is seeking a highly motivated scientist with a strong background in electrophysiology to join our team. Research in our Lab focuses on the molecular physiology of mitochondrial proteins specifically ion channels and transporters, their role in human disease, and how different organisms adapt to defects in mitochondrial functions. We use high resolution electrophysiological, imaging and biochemical approaches to elucidate signaling pathways that are fundamental to mitochondrial bioenergetics.
Located in the Howard Hall, we have access to extensive core facilities. The department faculty is internationally recognized for membrane excitability & associated (muscle, neurological and cardiovascular) disorders. The environment within the Department is highly collaborative, and extensive career training and mentoring is available within the department and from the Office of Postdoctoral Scholars. Our group is also a part of BioMet - The Center for Biomedical Engineering and Technology, and has access to multiple imaging modalities like, Zeiss Airyscan, super-res. and multiphoton microscopes.
We are seeking exceptional individuals, with a track record of impactful publications, to join our new and highly collaborative team. Relevant areas of expertise include strong electrophysiological skills, and a desire to make a career in mitochondrial and cardiovascular/muscle biology. Specific knowledge of any of these areas is less critical, however, than outstanding intellectual ability and strong research and quantitative skills. You will work in collaboration with an outstanding group of scientists and engineers with long-standing track records in basic and translational research. This is an excellent opportunity to learn mitochondrial patch clamp and biology, and break new grounds with high impact publications.
Interested applicants should email to vgarg@som.umaryland.edu, with a cover letter and a detailed CV (with references).
