University of South Florida
Job Description
The Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida has a regional and national reputation in physiological research. The Postdoctoral Scholar Research will work closely with the Department, Hypertension and Kidney Research Center, and the Heart Institute to expand the University’s research academic missions. This position is 100% research focused.
Responsibilities
Conduct cardiovascular and mitochondrial research using physiological, biochemical, and cell biological approaches.
Ensure compliance with research policies and procedures.
Participate in the development of grant submissions.
Review prior research and external research papers.
Establish experimental hypotheses, design experiments, and develop research methodology.
Accurately collect and analyze data, interpreting results with statistical methodology.
Prepare, write, and present papers for publication.
Qualifications Minimum Qualifications
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in biophysics, physiology, or a related area and have demonstrated high-level qualifications and in-depth knowledge in at least two of the following research fields: cardiovascular research, cardiac electrophysiology, cardiac excitation‑contraction coupling, and/or mitochondrial biology. Candidates should have experience in leading or supporting basic science research and a publication record of successful research.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with cellular electrophysiology, live‑cell imaging, and electron microscopy.
Cell culture of human iPSC‑derived cardiomyocytes and other cell lines; proficiency in protein immunoprecipitation and qPCR.
Familiarity with laboratory technologies such as development of cardiovascular disease animal models, in‑vivo cardiac function measurements, and live‑cell imaging using confocal microscopes.
Experience with generation, verification, and maintenance of transgenic animal lines.
This position may be subject to a Level 1 or Level 2 criminal background check.
