The Laboratory for GPCR Biology located at the Department of Pharmacology & Chemical Biology, and funded by the NIH is seeking a candidate for a post-doctoral fellowship position in an interdisciplinary research program aimed at elucidating molecular and cellular mechanisms of signal transduction mediated by G-protein coupled receptors at the single-molecule level. Fluorescence (FRET, TIRF, FRAP, FCS), techniques will be used to study transmembrane signaling and receptor dynamics in the context of peptide hormone/G protein-coupled receptor systems.

The candidate should have experience with single molecule approaches and have a PhD or MD/PhD in pharmacology/cell biology/Chemical Biology or Biophysics and have authored at least 2 articles published in international journals.

The University of Pittsburgh is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employers with strong institutional commitments to diversity. Women and minority candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.

Send CV and letter of motivation to J-P. Vilardaga (jpv@pitt.edu).
