Position available immediately to study the taste-specific G protein
gustducin and its role in taste transduction (Nature 381: 796, 1996;
Nature 376: 80, 1995; Nature 376: 85, 1995; Nature 357: 563, 1992).
Projects involve whole nerve, single fiber and single cell recording from
transgenic mice expressing seven transmembrane-helix receptors and mutant
forms of gustducin. Strong background in electrophysiology and small
animal surgery required, experience with nerve recording, single cell
electrophysiology and sensory transduction desirable. Send curriculum
vitae, names andaddresses of three references and a statement of research
interests to:
