No Department Overview The Mansoor lab seeks a postdoctoral scholar who is interested in structural biology and drug development. The scholar will receive training in the expression and purification of membrane proteins for biophysical and structural analysis, specifically single particle cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM), as well as training in electrophysiology. Applicants must be NIH training grant eligible (US Citizen or Green Card holder). Applicants should send a cover letter describing research experience and interests, a CV, and contacts for references to Steven E. Mansoor (mansoors@ohsu.edu). The Mansoor Lab studies the molecular structure and function of ion channels and receptors in the cardiovascular system to develop novel small molecules for the treatment of conditions such as hypertension, angina, and platelet aggregation. Typical techniques and experiments in the lab include, but are not limited to, molecular biology, tissue culture, electrophysiology experiments in both Xenopus oocytes and mammalian cells, and protein expression and purification preparations to get isolated receptor for structural studies, including both X-ray crystallography as well as single particle cryogenic electron microscopy. Applicants must have prior biochemistry and molecular biology experience and be comfortable with these types of experiments. Preference will be given to applicants with previous training in membrane protein biochemistry, X-ray crystallography and/or cryogenic electron microscopy. Function/Duties of Position Primary Research (including planning, granting, execution, analysis, publication) a.
