美国斯坦福大学2018年招聘博士后职位（心脏和神经信号转导研究）

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Cardiac and Neuronal Signal Transduction Research at Stanford University

Stanford University

Location: Palo Alto, CA

Job Number: 7052988

Posting Date: Sep 9, 2018

Application Deadline: Open Until Filled

Job Description

There are open, fully-funded postdoctoral positions at Stanford University in the laboratory of Michael S. Kapiloff, MD, PhD, FAHA, a faculty member in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Cardiovascular Medicine and a member of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. We are seeking to recruit highly motivated cellular and molecular biologists and cardiac physiologists with interests in either neuronal or cardiac signal transduction. Current research in the Kapiloff lab addresses how the formation of multimolecular protein complexes confers specificity in intracellular signaling and how these complexes are important for the function of cardiac myocytes in pathological remodeling and for the function of central nervous system neurons in stroke. A major focus of the lab has been the mAKAP scaffold protein that coordinates crosstalk between cAMP, calcium and MAP-kinase signaling pathways and that is important for the induction of pathological myocyte hypertrophy in the heart and for neurite extension and neuroprotection in the eye. Other projects include the study of novel scaffold proteins for the phosphatase calcineurin and for small GTPases. Research in the Kapiloff laboratory spans the breadth of signal transduction research from biochemistry to cell biology, including live cell imaging with FRET biosensors and in vivo animal physiology using genetically modified mouse models.

For more information, see the Kapiloff lab website at http://med.stanford.edu/kapilofflab.html

PhD must have been acquired no earlier than 2015. Strong English presentation and writing skills required. Record required of first author publication in the fields of biochemistry, molecular or cellular biology, pharmacology, or cardiac physiology published or accepted for publication into peer-reviewed journal.
