Job Description

Summary

The Ocular Surface laboratory in the Department of Ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine under direction of Cintia de Paiva, M.D., Ph.D. and Stephen Pflugfelder, M.D. is searching for a Post-doctoral Associate or Research Associate to study the cornea-trigeminal neural circuit in a recently funded project.  The project investigates the effects of transient and/or prolonged corneal epithelial barrier disruption on nociceptor stimulation, corneal nerve density and RNA and epigenetic profiling in corneal cells and the trigeminal ganglion cells that project to the cornea. The benchmark accomplishments of this project will be a fundamental new understanding of the impact of corneal epithelial barrier disruption that occurs in common corneal diseases on the integrity and function of the corneal epithelial nerve network.

This project will utilize mouse models of corneal barrier disruption, as well as a range of experimental techniques including cell isolation, single cell RNA and ATAC-seq, in situ hybridization, and cornea and trigeminal immunostaining. The ideal candidate will have experience with some or all of these or similar methods. Candidates must have good communication skills and be willing to work with other lab members as a team. Expertise in the application and adaptation of numerous research techniques and procedures is also required.
