POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available to study biophysical properties of transient receptor potential channel proteins, ie TRPC and TRPP subfamilies (see MCB 25(18):8285-98, 2005; EMBO J 27(9):1345-56, 2008; EMBO Rep. 9(5):472-9, 2008). Applicant must be highly motivated with demonstrated experience in whole cell patch clamp. Additional experience in single channel recordings and/or single cell Ca2+ imaging is highly desirable, but not required. Interested candidates should email curriculum vitae including the names and addresses of three references to: Leo Tsiokas, Ph.D., Department of Cell Biology, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 975 NE 10th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73104. E-mail: leonidas-tsiokas@ouhsc.edu.

A non-tenure track faculty position at the level of Research Assistant Professor/Research Instructor is available immediately in the Department of Cell Biology to study ionic transport by the polycystins and TRP channels (see PNAS 94: 6965, 1997; PNAS 96: 3934,1999; Nature 408: 990, 2000). Applicant must have demonstrated experience in electrophysiologic characterization of channel proteins. Support will be provided through the John S. Gammill Endowed Chair in Polycystic Kidney Disease. Interested candidates should send CV including the names and addresses of three references to: Leo Tsiokas, Ph.D., Department of Cell Biology, BSEB 302E, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 941 S. L. Young Blvd, Oklahoma City, OK 73104. E-mail: leonidas-tsiokas@ouhsc.edu.

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available immediately to study ionic transport by the polycystic kidney disease gene products and transient receptor potential channel proteins (see PNAS 94: 6965, 1997; PNAS 96: 3934,1999; Nature 408: 990, 2000). Applicant must be highly motivated with demonstrated experience in electrophysiology and fluorescent imaging. Electrophysiological studies will be initially conducted in collaboration with Dr. Hamid Akbarali, Department of Physiology. Interested candidates should send curriculum vitae including the names and addresses of three references to: Leo Tsiokas, Ph.D., Department of Cell Biology, BSEB 302E, The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, 941 S.
