| Position Highlights | The Department of Anesthesiology at the Banner University Medical Center provides a full range of clinical service and education including Anesthesiology Residency and Fellowships. Clinical experience covers ambulatory, cardiothoracic, neurosurgical, obstetric, pediatric, trauma, transplantation and vascular surgery, as well as acute and chronic pain and critical care. Our clinical faculty, residents and nurse anesthetists cover operating rooms at Banner University Medical Center-Tucson, Banner University Medical Center-South, and Southern Arizona Veterans Administration Hospital. One of our laboratories, led by Dr. De Souza, is in the Arizona Health Science Center at the University of Arizona and it is focused i) on the mechanisms that endow voltage sensitivity to ion channels expressed in the membranes of excitable cells and ii) on a technology under development in or laboratory that endows light sensitivity to the membrane potential of excitable cells in vivo. For these two hypothesis we use functional studies of ion channels, cells and tissues, as well as molecular detection/quantification with various modern methods. For performing research on these two projects, we are recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher. Dr. De Souza actively collaborates with Dr. Andreia Chignalia, who leads a different lab in our Department. Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!
