Opportunity Description:

The postdoctoral fellow should have a Ph.D in chemistry or a related discipline. The successful candidate is expected to have demonstrated experience in the design and execution of experiments related to single molecule biophysics, particularly using single molecule fluorescence techniques, evidenced by publication in peer-reviewed journals. Preference will be given to candidates who also have experience in recombinant protein expression, purification and fluorescence labeling. Additional experience in one or more of the following areas is also preferred: site-directed mutagenesis of proteins; analysis of single molecule fluorescence data, such as FRET, FCS, Hidden Markovian Modeling, changepoint analysis, auto-/cross-correlation, and/or other statistical methods; experience in transgenic plant biology; skills in mentoring students and in lab management; excellent written and oral communication skills.
