Scientist/Senior Scientist in Electrophysiology
The successful applicant will join our research efforts to develop and
understand the electrophysiological actions of ion channel inhibitors.
This scientist will screen compounds against heterologously expressed
or native ion channel targets (e.g. hERG) from excitable cells (e.g.,
cardiac, HEK293) using patch-clamp techniques. In addition to patch-
clamp electrophysiology assays and research, duties may include
maintaining cell cultures, method development, data analysis and
presentation, and writing of technical reports and original
manuscripts.
Qualifications:
This position requires a minimum of a Master’s degree with in-depth
electrophysiology experience, or a Ph.D. in physiology, biophysics or
pharmacology with ion channel research experience. Prior job
experience in a biotech or pharmaceutical company is beneficial but
not required. The successful applicant should have first-hand
experience in patch-clamp methodology. Experience in cellular and
molecular biology is a plus, but not a pre-requisite. Knowledge of
common laboratory instruments and general lab procedures, experience
with primary cell culture, as well as knowledge of software used for
electrophysiological experiments is required. Experience with
automated patch-clamp system is a plus. The successful candidate will
demonstrate the ability to organize and present data, have strong
written and oral communication skills, and have a history of working
well in a team-oriented
