Postdoctoral Positions
Postdoctoral position in cellular/molecular neurobiology is available at Vanderbilt University Medical Center . The successful candidate will join a research group that employs a highly multidisciplinary approach to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in neuromodulation and regulation of animal behavior. The laboratory uses a combination of biochemical, molecular biological, imaging, electrophysiological and behavioral techniques to study regulation of neuronal function by metabotropic glutamate receptors and other G-protein-linked receptors. Also, we have a strong interest in relating cellular and molecular changes to disorders of the central nervous system, including Parkinson's disease and Schizophrenia.
Research Faculty positions also available for outstanding candidates.

Program in Drug Discovery
The Vanderbilt Program in Drug Discovery has immediate openings in multiple areas for scientists with experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. The mission of the Vanderbilt Program in Drug Discovery is to promote translation of advances in basic science to novel therapeutics and marketable products. With a focus on CNS disorders and allosteric mechanisms for target modulation, the Vanderbilt Program in Drug Discovery is looking for talented individuals that want to address unmet medical needs, impact human health and work in a dynamic team-oriented environment.
Medicinal Chemistry : Positions for BS/MS/PhD with >3 years experience as a medicinal chemist in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Excellent synthetic chemistry skills required along with the ability to develop/interpret SAR and incorporate DMPK findings into compound design. Experience in CNS therapeutic areas is preferred.
Drug Metabolism : Positions for BS/MS/PhD with >3 years drug metabolism experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Candidates for an in vitro DM position should have experience conducting CYP (P450), protein binding and microsome/hepatocyte stability assays along with other standard DM assays. Candidates for an in vivo DMPK position should have experience with animal handling, animal surgery and rodent pharmacokinetic dose and draw.
Pharmacology ( in vitro and i n vivo ) : Positions for BS/MS/PhD with >3 years experience in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. Candidates for an in vitro pharmacology position should have experience in mammalian tissue culture and pharmacological experiments such as concentration-response curves and binding assays. Candidates for an in vivo behavioral pharmacology position should have experience in rodent behavioral pharmacology, animal surgery and genotyping. Candidates will participate in all phases of experimental design, execution and analysis of behavioral studies with novel CNS therapeutic agents.
For all of these positions, candidates must possess excellent communication and computer skills, the ability to work under moderate supervision and possess a high level of motivation and creativity. We offer competitive salary and benefits, commensurate with experience. Vanderbilt University Medical Center is an equal opportunity employer. |
