Under general supervision in the Coffin Lab, provides a wide variety of moderately complex laboratory testing and technical lab support for a research facility. Requires knowledge of the processes/procedures in testing, documenting experiments, maintaining laboratory notebook, analyzing data, and reporting using complex statistical computer software.
This role oversees a state-of-the art service facility by performing a broad range of complex laboratory and research related assessments and self-evaluations, acting as a specialist on laboratory methods and equipment functions, performing a variety of tests requiring a high degree of proficiency, troubleshooting problems and recommending solutions, evaluating experiment results using complex statistical and multivariate analysis.
The Hair Cell Damage and Protection Lab at Creighton University invites applications for the role of Postdoctoral Fellow, starting as soon as December 2025. The position provides opportunities to develop independent research projects in auditory neuroscience, career development, and gain hands-on experience with advanced techniques including calcium imaging, super-resolution microscopy, auditory brainstem response (ABR), and RNA-seq. The position also offers training and mentoring in science communication, leadership development, and project management.
The newly opened Central Auditory Neuroscience Lab at Creighton University invites applications for the role of Postdoctoral Fellow. The position will provide opportunities to develop independent research projects on auditory neuroscience, career development, and gain hands-on experience with advanced techniques, including patch clamp, optogenetics, fluorescence imaging, auditory brainstem response (ABR), stereotaxic surgery, RNA-seq, and computational modeling.
Creighton University in Omaha, NE is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Translational Hearing Center in the Biomedical Sciences Department.
The laboratory focuses on two main lines of research. The first involves studying Usher proteins and their interactions with transmembrane receptors during inner ear development. This research includes developing genetically modified mouse models to analyze morphology, function, and transcript/protein profiles under both basal and stress conditions.
The second line of research aims to identify therapies for acquired hearing loss. We use zebrafish and mammalian models to study hearing loss caused by noise, cisplatin, and aminoglycosides.
Our lab offers an excellent research environment, fostering the exchange of new ideas and exploration of novel directions. Additionally, there are opportunities to apply for both intramural and extramural small grants.
This is a grant funded position.
