Postdoctoral Research Associate – Heinzen Lab

Vacancy ID: PDS003793

Position Summary/Description:
The Heinzen laboratory in the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics, in collaboration with the Eshelman Institute for Innovation, in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is looking to immediately fill multiple postdoctoral fellowship positions to study molecular mechanisms across multiple types of genetic epilepsies to identify convergent disease mechanisms and drug targets.

The successful candidates will be part of a highly interdisciplinary environment to develop induced pluripotent stem cell derived neuronal models of genetic epilepsies and apply cutting-edge technologies including electrophysiology, single-cell RNAseq, chromatin conformation capture technique, optogenetics, genetic encoded biosensors of neurotransmission, and live cell imaging, to study cellular and molecular signatures associated genetic epilepsies. Well-defined cellular and m...
