The Scherrer Lab welcomes applications from highly motivated students and postdocs interested in investigating pain and opioid biology.

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Prof. Greg Scherrer by email at gregory_scherrer@med.unc.edu


The Scherrer Lab is recruiting postdoctoral researchers. Successful candidates will be investigating the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms that underlie pain perception and opioids’ actions, using a variety of approaches including mouse genetics, cell and molecular biology techniques including transcriptomics and proteomics, neural circuit tracing, electron microscopy, electrophysiology, opto-/chemo-genetics, in vivo calcium imaging, behavioral assays. A strong background in the pain and opioid fields and/or expertise in the above mentioned techniques is necessary.
