Position Summary:

The Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Neuroscience at the University of Nebraska Medical Center is seeking candidates for a Research Instructor position. Candidate will have the opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art research facility and be part of cutting-edge research focused on the understanding of adverse effects of antiretrovirals (ARVs) and other co-morbidities on fetal neurodevelopment, placenta health, and developing interventional therapeutic strategies to improve developmental outcomes. The position provides a unique opportunity to work at the interface of neurodevelopmental biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and HIV-1-linked virology. The research is focused on identifying underlying mechanisms, evaluating pre- and post-natal neurodevelopment and placental development, and developing novel non-invasive bioimaging tools to study fetal neurodevelopment as well as new drug delivery strategies to improve safety and therapeutic benefits of drugs during pregnancy. Interested candidates should apply at https://unmc.peopleadmin.com/postings/97382 providing a CV, list of three references as well as any other relevant application materials.

Required Qualifications:

Ph.D. in basic science is required. Strong verbal and written communication skills are required. In addition, ability to work as a part of a team and working knowledge of software include, but not limited to, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe photoshop/illustrator, and GraphPad prism or other statistical analysis software is required.

Supplemental Qualifications:

Background in neuroscience, developmental neuroscience/biology is preferred. Candidate should be strong in molecular biology techniques and have experience in cell culture and animal work, flow cytometry, western blot analysis, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, and other procedures. Candidate should be comfortable with handling research animals (rodent models) and conducting developmental biology and HIV-1 virology linked experiments in these animal models.

Salary Range: Salary Commensurate with Experience
