Posting Summary

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Anesthesiology within the New Jersey Medical School (NJMS).

Under the direction of the PI, the Postdoctoral Fellow will study novel EphB1/2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors as candidate therapeutics for neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain remains a major unmet clinical need, and Eph receptor signaling has emerged as a promising but underexplored target for disease-modifying analgesics. The overarching goal of this project is to define the behavioral effects, potency, pharmacological profile, and molecular correlates of next-generation EphB1/2 inhibitors across multiple preclinical models of neuropathic pain, advancing lead compounds toward therapeutic development.The postdoctoral fellow will play a central and intellectually engaged role in the project, leading behavioral and pharmacological evaluation of novel compounds across both surgical and c...
