Martin O. Job

Martin O. Job, PhD, serves as Assistant Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, where he teaches pharmacology to medical students. His academic journey spans Nigeria (undergraduate pharmacy studies), the University of Texas at Austin (PhD in Pharmacology), and postdoctoral training at Emory University, Georgia State University, and NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Pharmacology, University of Texas at Austin (Dissertation: Mu opioid receptors in alcohol-mediated dopamine increases)

Dr. Job's research centers on addiction neuroscience with three interconnected pillars: molecular mechanisms of opioid receptors in alcohol reward pathways, behavioral characterization of psychostimulants, and innovative application of behavioral economics to cocaine use disorder models. His work consistently bridges neuropharmacology and behavioral analysis to dissect substance use disorders at multiple biological levels.

With sixteen peer-reviewed publications (eleven as first/sole author), Dr. Job demonstrates sustained research productivity since his doctoral training. His current role at Cooper Medical School combines medical education in pharmacology with ongoing neuroscience research, maintaining continuity from his NIH postdoctoral work on pre-clinical addiction models.
