Adverts posted here are for positions related to eye research, basic science or clinical, ophthalmology or optometry departments. Faculty Positions Faculty Position in Visual Neuroscience University of Oklahoma, Department of Cell Biology A non-tenure track Research Assistant Professor position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Muna Naash. Position is in molecular biology and gene therapy and will have an opportunity to grow into an independent position in the future.
Competitive salary is guaranteed for two years with potential extension.
The individual will investigate the role of protein kinase C gamma in regulation of gap junctions in the lens, and, changes during diabetes. The successful candidate will have a strong background in cell and molecular biology, protein purification and either confocal or electron microscopy. Two postdoctoral positions are available to investigate the molecular basis of visual loss in transgenic models. The laboratory investigates mechanisms of photoreceptors death and the application of gene therapy. To investigate the molecular basis of the visual process, the laboratory utilizes molecular and cell biology approaches such as transgenic models, promoter bashing, protein isolation and detection, yeast hybrid systems to isolate associating proteins, histology and immunocytochemistry.
