We study the biophysics and physiology of IP3R Ca2+-release channels, the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter and CALHM ion channels and their roles in physiology, including bioenergetics, cancer, neurodegeneration and sensory perception (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/myncbi/j. kevin.foskett.1/bibliography/40983577/public/?sort=date&direction=descending).
Ph.D. and relevant research experience required. Desired skills include patch-clamp electrophysiology, quantitative microscopy, molecular biology, structural biology approaches, and experience with transgenic mice.
