Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine has a postdoctoral position available in the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology. We are seeking an M.D. or PhD with a high degree of motivation, with a strong background in molecular or cellular biology to conduct basic research on the molecular mechanism of cardiac muscle contraction. The position involves working with chemically skinned cardiac tissue, high-energy lasers, optonics, spectroscopic devices, and the preparation of fluorescently tagged monocysteine mutants of human proteins. The position requires a strong aptitude in the use of computer software for data acquisition and analysis and excellent communications skills necessary for scientific presentations and publications.
