Description

Ref.no E 36 2381/09

We seek one post-doc for two highly interdisciplinary projects:

(1) Biophysics of DNA and DNA-protein interactions. The experiments are performed using magnetic and optical tweezers together with nanostructured channel systems.
(2) Genomics. Analysis of genomic material, initially from simple model systems, at a later stage from whole cells. The experiments are done using advanced fluorescence microscopy on DNA stretched in nanochannels.

The postdoc is expected to work in an interdisciplinary manner and be responsible for all aspects of the project: nanofabrication of the channels (at MC2); microscopy; sample preparation; image processing; interpretation of data; experimental design. Collaborations are crucial and the postdoc is expected to benefit from existing networks and contribute by establishing new collaborative connections. Documented experience of clean room work and other experimental biophysics is valued highly.

The group headed by Dr. Jonas Tegenfeldt is specialized in nanoscience in the fields of biophysics, microfluidics, and DNA analysis. The work will take place in close collaborations with Chalmers/MC2/nanotechnology laboratory, Chalmers/Physical Chemistry, Chalmers/Physics. The project is funded through a large European collaborative project with in total 16 academic and commercial institutions as well as a grant from the Human Frontier Science Program.

The appointment will be at the Department of Physics at Gothenburg University initially for one year, but with possibility for an extension to a total of two years.

Start: fall 2009.

For further information contact Docent Jonas Tegenfeldt, jonas.tegenfeldt@physics.gu.se.
