[vslist] Post-doctoral Position Boston University

[William D. Eldred]

Post-doctoral position to join a multi-disciplinary NIH-funded lab 

studying the nitric oxide/cGMP signal transduction system in retina. 

The successful applicant will use a wide variety of techniques including 

real time nitric oxide imaging, conventional and multiphoton confocal 

microscopy, calcium imaging, light and electron immunocytochemistry, 

electrophysiology, pharmacology, proteomics, and transfections of 

cellular activity markers and RNAi. Research will be done using intact 

retinas, retinal slices and isolated cells from salamander, turtle, rat and 

mouse. Current projects include the study of neurotransmitter and light 

stimulated nitric oxide production and the downstream signaling pathways, 

and the modulation of neurotransmitter release by nitric oxide. BU has an 

active vision group which ranges in interests from molecular biology of 

phototransduction through retinal electrophysiology and perceptual modeling 

of vision. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Neurobiology or a closely 

related field. Previous experience in second messenger signaling 

mechanisms, molecular biology, electrophysiology, nitric oxide, or retina 

would be considered valuable. 

Please send CV, statement of research interests, and the names of 

three references to:
