A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Filip Van Petegem at the
University of British Columbia.

Our lab focusses on calcium channels in both the plasma membrane and
intracellular compartments. Calcium is an important 2nd messenger and
channels allowing influx of calcium into the cytoplasm play major roles in
the contraction of cardiac and skeletal muscle, pacemaking in the heart,
release of neurotransmitters and hormones, and activation of the immune
system. Mutations in these channels lead to severe genetic diseases and
they are major drug targets for treating cardiac diseases, epilepsy, and
chronic pain.

We use an integrated approach to understand how calcium channels function,
including electrophysiology, X-ray crystallography, calorimetry, and various
additional biophysical techniques. An overview of our research can be found
at http://crg.ubc.ca/VanPetegem. Our lab is part of the cardiovascular
research group (http://crg.ubc.ca), and is housed in the new life sciences
centre at UBC.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a sincere interest in
the field of ion channels or neuroscience, and with experience in
crystallizing and solving structures of proteins. Alternatively, individuals
with strong electrophysiological skills and wishing to learn crystallography
are also encouraged to apply.

Both formal applications and informal enquiries can be addressed via email
to: petegem@interchange.ubc.ca

Sincerely,

Filip Van Petegem
