Job Opportunities

A postdoctoral position is available for an individual with an interest in understanding how the systems for translating mRNA are re-programmed during physiologic stress and disease. Our lab takes a multi-disciplinary approach to exploring these questions, and employs a wide range of biochemical, bioinformatics, and next-gen sequencing strategies. We are looking for creative and motivated candidates with a quantitative bent, and preferably a strong background in molecular biology techniques. For more information, please visit the site of Thoreen Laboratory. Applicants should send their CV, a brief statement of interests, and the names/contact information of at least one reference to Carson Thoreen, Department of Cellular and Molecular Physiology, Yale School of Medicine via email to carson.thoreen@yale.edu.

Our labs are pioneering the use of non-standard animal models, such as hibernating squirrels, tactile foraging ducks and others, to inquire into the molecular basis of mechanosensitivity, thermosensitivity and thermoregulation in vertebrates. We are seeking motivated postdocs to study general principles of temperature- and mechanosensation, and gating of heat- and mechanosensitive ion channels, including Piezo, K2P, TRP and Nav’s. We use a multidisciplinary approach ranging from biophysics, biochemistry and transcriptomics to cell and molecular biology and behavioral tests.

Candidates should have a strong background in general biochemical, biophysical, molecular or cell biological techniques. Experience with electrophysiological methods is highly desirable. Salary—Yale scale.

More information can be found on The Slav and Elena Labs on their lab website.

Applicants should send a CV and a list of referees to:

sviatoslav.bagriantsev@yale.edu and elena.gracheva@yale.edu

Postdoc position available in the laboratory of Dr. Jesse Rinehart at the Yale Systems Biology Institute. The qualified applicant would join projects working at the interface of Systems Biology & Synthetic Biology to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of Tauopathy.

Highly qualified applicants can send a CV directly to jesse.rinehart@yale.edu.

We study how ion channels and membrane receptors regulate signaling in gametes and fertilization process (www.jeanjuchunglab.org). We combine genetic manipulation and protein engineering of ion channel/membrane receptor function with cellular and mouse models using insights from human genetics and evolution.

We are expanding our research team and seek highly motivated and independent postdoctoral candidates with an inquisitive nature and a quantitative mind in two areas. Prospective applicants must have a background in ion channels and membrane receptors and/or drug discovery with hands-on experience and technical expertise in (1) protein biochemistry and structural biology or (2) electrophysiology. Actively recruiting for current NIH funded projects (basic and translational research on the CatSper channel and sperm physiology) through 2029.

As a postdoctoral trainee in the Chung lab, you will learn techniques in the lab and/or in collaboration: mouse and human genetics, proteomics, comparative genomics, advanced imaging technologies including super-resolution and electron microscopy.

To apply, please send a single PDF file to Jean-Ju Chung at jean-ju.chung@yale.edu containing (1) a brief cover letter outlining research interests and career goals, (2) curriculum vitae, and (3) a list of three references with contact information.
