Mayo Clinic offers a variety of employee benefits. For additional information please visit Mayo Clinic Benefits. Eligibility may vary.

Two NIH-funded postdoctoral positions are available in the Receptor Biophysics Laboratory directed by Dr. Steven Sine within the Departments of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering and of Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota.
     * The laboratory investigates biophysical and structural mechanisms underpinning nicotinic acetylcholine receptor function in normal and disease conditions and in the presence of small molecule modulators.
     * State of the art single channel electrophysiology is combined with mechanistic analyses and site-directed changes in receptor structure (eLife 2021, PMID 33821794; Cell 2021, PMID 33735609; J. Gen. Physiol. 2020, PMID 32702089).
     * We seek highly motivated applicants with strong quantitative skills and a desire to advance understanding of biophysical mechanisms as they relate to the structure and modulation of ion channels of therapeutic interest.

To apply for this position please send a cover letter describing research interests, past accomplishments and future goals, full CV, and contact information for three references to Dr. Steven M. Sine at sine.steven@mayo.edu.
