Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Bio-Medical Sciences Department

Creighton University in Omaha, NE is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Translational Hearing Center in the Biomedical Sciences Department.

The laboratory focuses on two main lines of research. The first involves studying Usher proteins and their interactions with transmembrane receptors during inner ear development. This research includes developing genetically modified mouse models to analyze morphology, function, and transcript/protein profiles under both basal and stress conditions.

The second line of research aims to identify therapies for acquired hearing loss. We use zebrafish and mammalian models to study hearing loss caused by noise, cisplatin, and aminoglycosides.

Our lab offers an excellent research environment, fostering the exchange of new ideas and exploration of novel directions. Additionally, there are opportunities to apply for both intramural and extramural small grants.

This is a grant funded position.

Qualifications

• Doctoral Degree in related area
• 1+ years of experience in the hearing field and the ability to learn essential techniques such as hearing/vestibular tests, microdissection, and imaging
