Job Description

 

Working directly with Dr. Shin, the successful candidate will drive one of following projects in the Shin lab, 1) basic mechanisms of pain in the peripheral environment, 2) establishing and utilizing human models of CIPN and associated pain conditions, or 3) predictive modeling of CIPN susce

ptibility using patient data. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate within and outside the laboratory to contribute to multiple projects during their time in the laboratory. They will also be expected to design and execute experiments of considerable scope and complexity in the determined research projects; collect and analyze data for research sponsored by appropriate agencies and Institutions; identify and select problems to be studied; develop and troubleshoot new experimental techniques and protocols; attend research seminars; contribute to manuscript preparation and support technical writing; participate in preparation of grant applications for extramural funding; perform additional duties as assigned.

 

The Shin lab is recruiting a Post Doctoral Researcher to join her research team at The Ohio State University’s Department of Neurology and Comprehensive Cancer Center (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gracejshin_neurology-cipnresearch-painresearch-activity-7083124244221456384-WtQ7?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop). The core mission of the Shin lab will be to elucidate the peripheral mechanisms of pain. We will utilize a multi-modal approach, encompassing animal and human models as well as patient samples, focusing particularly on Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), associated comorbidities, and painful skin disorders. Embedded within a translational research environment, our lab endeavors to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical application in close collaborations with clinicians to tackle pain more effectively.

 

The laboratory is set to open in September 2023, and we are currently recruiting multiple positions, including postdocs, research technicians, a lab manager, and graduate students. The current post is to recruit a dedicated individual for a full-time post doctoral researcher, who will drive key projects in the laboratory. This environment is ideal for scientists and trainees aiming to apply their research in bridging the basic science and clinical application to solve pain using multi-disciplinary approaches. We are committed to fostering a supportive and diverse environment that promotes intellectual growth and prepares the next generation of scientists and physician-scientists. A successful candidate will be trained in a highly supportive and productive environment for their next career steps in academia or industry.
