Postdoctoral Research Position for Single Molecule and Single Cell Technologies
University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, us, 46556
Seeking a Ph.D to support research projects in nanotechnology related to single molecule and single cell spectroscopy. This work utilizes nanometer-diameter pores through nanometer-thick solid-state membranes or quartz pipettes with nanometer-diameter orifices that are immersed in an electrolytic solution to detect single molecules for applications in protein sequencing or identifying protein structure. The successful applicant must have completed a Ph.D., preferably in molecular and cell biology, electrical engineering, physics, biophysics, bioengineering or a closely related discipline, with a proven capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record.Considerable skill is required in implementing experiments to probe the interactions between biomolecules and abiotic nanostructures and/or nanoelectronics. Experience in a subset of the following disciplines is
mandatory:aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy;micro- and nanofluidics;atomic force/scanning probe microscopy;free-space laser optics and preferably optical tweezing;semiconductor device fabrication;high frequency, low-noise electrical measurements;molecular and cell biology;interfacing computers with instrumentation using LABVIEW;programming in MATLAB, PYTHON, C++, and/or IGOR.Interested applicants should send a detailed CV, along with a list of publications, and arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation sent via email directly to Prof. Gregory Timp (gtimp@nd.edu). In the cover letter,
please delineate specifically how your skills can be applied to the work in this lab.Contact:Gregory Timp316 Stinson-Remick HallNotre Dame AvenueNotre Dame, IN 46556EEO/AA PolicyThe University of Notre Dame is an equal opportunity employer.
