What is a patch clamp?

A Patch Clamp job typically involves using the patch-clamp technique to study ion channels in biological cells. This role is common in neuroscience, electrophysiology, and pharmaceutical research, where scientists analyze electrical activity in neurons or other cells. Responsibilities may include preparing cell samples, performing recordings, analyzing data, and maintaining laboratory equipment. Professionals in this field often work in academic institutions, biotechnology companies, or pharmaceutical industries to support drug discovery and fundamental research.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a patch clamp?

A Patch Clamp professional’s daily responsibilities often include preparing biological samples or cultured cells, setting up and calibrating electrophysiology equipment, and performing precise patch clamp recordings to study ion channel activity. Data analysis, troubleshooting technical issues, and maintaining detailed experimental records are also common tasks. Collaboration with other researchers, attending lab meetings, and contributing to manuscript preparation or grant proposals are frequently part of the role. These varied responsibilities help ensure high-quality scientific outcomes and ongoing professional development within the research team.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the patch clamp position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Patch Clamp technician or researcher, you typically need a strong background in cellular physiology, electrophysiology, and hands-on laboratory skills, often supported by a relevant degree in biology, neuroscience, or a related field. Proficiency with patch clamp amplifiers, data acquisition software (such as pCLAMP), and microscopy is essential, and additional certifications in laboratory safety are beneficial. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective teamwork are key soft skills that help individuals excel in this meticulous and collaborative research environment. These competencies are crucial to ensure reliable data collection, accurate interpretation of experimental results, and smooth collaboration within interdisciplinary scientific teams.

Full-time

Posted 14 days ago

Job description

Latigo is seeking an in vivo Electrophysiologist to perform biophysical and pharmacological experiments using microneurography to strengthen our portfolio of novel analgesic programs. The candidate will design, execute, and analyze in vivo electrophysiological experiments to understand how targets of interest are involved in pain biology, as well as their pharmacology. The successful candidate will have grit, audacity, and demonstrate a willingness to learn in a team environment. The title for this role (Scientist or Senior Scientist) will be based on experience.
Primary responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
  • Design, execution, and analysis of microneurography studies to characterize the biological activities of targets and mechanism(s) of action in pain circuitry.
  • Characterization of compound pharmacology using microneurography
  • Development and implementation of novel in vivo electrophysiology protocols
  • Critical analysis and interpretation of data.
  • Preparation and presentation of research results in both oral and written formats.
  • Management of project timelines and deliverables.
  • Support of scientific decision making and pipeline advancement

Required qualifications:
  • Doctorate degree with relevant scientific experience
  • Expertise in practical electrophysiology (e.g. whole-cell patch clamp, two-electrode Xenopus oocyte voltage-clamp, microneurography, etc.)
  • Experience performing surgery in anesthetized animals

Preferred experience and skills:
  • Ph.D. in physiology, biophysics, neuroscience, pharmacology, or related disciplines.
  • Familiarity with basic coding/programming
  • Extensive knowledge of ion channel biology and electrophysiology as evidenced by an outstanding publication record.
  • Proficiency in data acquisition, documentation, and data analysis.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to present research results in both written and oral formats.
  • Demonstrated learning agility and intellectual curiosity.
  • Experience with designing and executing studies to advance the pipeline and deliver decision-making results in a timeline manner.
  • Team-oriented with demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional colleagues in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
  • Post-doctoral training not required for Scientist level.
