The Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology is seeking a highly motivated Research Technician II to work in laboratory of Dr. Amanda Klein helping to conduct research examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control pain in mammals

The individual hired for this position is expected to conduct research examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms that control pain in mammals. One of the primary foci of this position will be to conduct experiments that can be used to measure analgesia/hyperalgesia using rodent models. Current laboratory projects use various methods to investigate the nervous system on in vitro and in vivo levels. Future experiments will incorporate molecular biology methods to identify genes, proteins, and other small molecules that are responsible for initiating or maintaining chronic pain in mammals. Collaborators on these projects may be located at other universities or research institutions nationally and internationally. Thus, the ability to work independently, collaborate, and supervise lab operations are important. Individuals who will welcome the opportunity to expand ongoing research programs in chronic pain and its therapeutic applications in humans are encouraged to apply.

The successful candidate should be self-starting and bring creativity, enthusiasm, and additional cell and molecular expertise to a research group that studies chronic pain in mammals. Research accomplishments involving cell and molecular biology of mammalian systems would be particularly beneficial.

 

The candidate should be familiar with computers and the use of Microsoft Office Software.
