Description

We have a position for a post doctoral fellow with background in experimental biophysics or optical physics, or cell biology to study the nanomechanics of cells and biomolecules at SUNY in Buffalo, NY. We develop techniques based on imaging and optical trapping to study the structural dynamics of single proteins and to investigate the nanomechanics of cells and cell membrane. Experience in one or more of the following is required: single molecule experiments, advanced optical microscopy, optical trapping, protein biochemistry, and/or surface chemistry. Responsibilities include preparation of protein and cell samples; optical instrumentation set-up and calibration; assay development and data analysis. We are looking for a highly self-motivated and hard working researcher with advanced computing skills. The position is available immediately and initially for one year with optional renewal for a second year.

For more details visit our webpage (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~apralle/) and contact Arnd Pralle (apralle at buffalo.edu).

Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae including a list of publications and the contacts for two references by Aug.1st 2008.

Our group is part of the physics department in the basic sciences as well as part of the physiology department in the medical school.
