Postdoctoral and research assistant positions are immediately
available in my laboratory. Candidates should be highly
motivated and have good expertise in molecular biology,
biochemistry and/or cell biology techniques. Candidates with
experience in yeast two-hybrid system and/or protein chemistry
are particularly attractive.
Current work underway in the laboratory focus on studying
biogenic steps of G- protein coupled receptors and
phosphoinositide signaling in neuronal cells. We have been
particularly interested in investigating i) the molecular
mechanisms underlying the function of a new neuronal signaling
pathway mediated by a novel PI-phospholipase C (e.g. Ferreira,
P. et al. (1994). J. Biol. Chem., 269, 3129; Ferreira, P. et
al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 90, 6042) and, ii) the
molecular machinery involved in the intracellular processing
and trafficking of homologous G-protein coupled receptors in
highly polarized neuronal cells (e.g. Ferreira et al. (1998), J.
Biol. Chem. submitted; Ferreira, P. et al. (1997) Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA, 94, 1556; Ferreira, P. et al. (1996) Nature 383,
637; Ferreira, P. et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 23179). In
addition, we are using our studies as a model system to study
widespread homologous molecular mechanisms in other biological
systems and understand the molecula
Candidates with an overall interest in neurobiology are invited
to apply and should send their CV, summary of their past
research experience and future goals, and three reference
letters directly to:
