Job Description

Exciting Opportunity for Postdoctoral Researchers Interested in Pain, Neuropharmacology, and Translational Science

The Department of Neuroscience, in collaboration with the Center for Advanced Pain Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas, is currently accepting applications for a full-time, DoD-funded Postdoctoral Fellow (Research Associate). This role is ideally suited for individuals with specific training in pain-related animal behavior, rat and mouse handling, drug discovery, general pharmacology, and statistics.

This position offers an excellent opportunity to be part of cutting-edge neuropharmacology and behavioral research focused on osteoarthritis. The project centers on testing novel therapeutics for osteoarthritis in collaboration with a pharmaceutical company, involving pain and side-effect testing in rodent models (mice and rats), as well as related experimental procedures.

The work primarily involves animal behavior research to determine drug dosing and side-effect profiles. Prior experience in pain or related behavior in rodents is required. The position is well suited for researchers interested in transitioning to industry, though applicants pursuing academic, teaching, or other career paths are also encouraged to apply.

You will work under the supervision of Dr. Benedict Kolber, the Principal Investigator, and receive assignments and evaluations directly from him. The Kolber Lab is an integral part of the thriving Center for Advanced Pain Studies, offering rich opportunities for collaboration with numerous other postdoctoral fellows, trainees, and faculty. Additional guidance is provided through university regulations for environmental safety. The role may also include the supervision and monitoring of students and laboratory staff.

Salary for Postdoctoral Research Associates in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences ( BBS ) is commensurate with experience and qualifications. This position is funded for one year, with the possibility of annual renewal based on performance and continued funding availability.
