[vslist] Boston University, Research Assistant

[William D. Eldred]

Immediately available Research Assistant 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 viral 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:
