Description |
Specific Responsibilities: - Perform ex-vivo electrophysiological experiments to screen compounds and to do scientific research on atrial and ventricular arrhythmia models at levels of tissue, isolated heart and/or whole animal.
- Develop new models or methods in cardiac electrophysiological study to determine the potency and mechanism of action of drug candidates.
- Strong ability to read and interpret electrophysiological (electrocardiogram and action potential) recordings and hemodynamic parameters, and to solve experimental problems.
- Excellent skills in using computer software (Word, Excel, and data analysis and graphics software).
- Organizing, analyzing, interpreting and presenting data.
- Strong written and oral communication skills and capability to work in a research team.
Essential Duties and Job Functions:
The research scientist will work in the laboratory to conduct heart or tissue research. He/she will support several research and preclinical drug screening projects. Duties include performing experiments using tissue or whole hearts, developing new assays to investigate electrophysiological activities of drugs or compounds, analyzing and plotting experimental data, drafting technical reports, and preparing manuscripts for scientific publication.
