Researchers interested in understanding the KATP mechanism:
An NIH R01-funded researcher/postdoctoral scientist position is available to study mutant KATP channels. To apply send your detailed CV to ABabenko@PNRI.org and/or Andrey@BabenkoWeb.com. Preference will be given to applicants who have obtained practical experience in molecular biology and/or patch-clamp electrophysiology and are able to work independently. Experience in membrane protein biochemistry is a plus, but not required. The recruited researcher will enjoy the unique multidisciplinary and truly
collegial academic environment created by Pacific Northwest Research
Institute/University of Washington in Seattle. The productive scientist will be supported to develop an independent research project.
