Biological signaling occurs at different levels, but basic processes are largely chemically based. The mission of our research team is to engineer novel molecular imaging probes to peer into cells and brains to understand their communications. We are looking for postdoctoral fellows with the following expertise:
1. Protein Engineering, with previous experiences in molecular cloning, gene library construction, and/or screening. Minimal requirements: More than three years of experience in phage display, yeast surface display, fluorescent proteins, or directed enzyme/antibody evolution.
2. Cell Biology/Imaging. We hope to hire a cell biologist with extensive experience in live-cell imaging (confocal, super-resolution, TIRF, etc.). Previous experience with stem cell or cancer cell biology is preferred.
3. Neurobiology. We hope to hire a postdoc fellow with strong expertise in neurobiology, such as neurotransmission, neuromodulation, and GPCR-based signaling. Minimal requirements: 1) A Ph.D. degree (or the equivalent) in neuroscience or other closely related fields. 2) Demonstrated expertise in standard and advanced neuronal electrophysiology recordings and rodent surgical procedures. Experiences in mouse models, imaging and morphological analyses, and animal behavior experiments are preferred.
4. Microscopy instrumentation. We would also consider candidates with rich experience in fluorescence microscopy and microscopy instrumentation.
The to-be-hired researchers are expected to be self-motivated. Please send your CV (education history and publication list), and contact information for three references to huiwang.ai@virginia.edu. In addition, please in the email indicate your research interest, and how you fit our research program. We thank all applicants; however, only selected individuals will be contacted.
We offer: • The possibility to work on cutting-edge projects
• A stimulating, diverse and international research environment
• Advanced training opportunities
• Career development
• Competitive salary and benefits

UVA was established by the American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson in 1819. It is considered as one of the top 3 public universities in the U.S. (among UC Berkeley and UCLA). The UVA medical school is ranked #27 for research by US News with 3 previous Nobel Prize winners. The UVA Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics has a long tradition of excellence. When comparing the NIH funding of physiology departments in the United States, the UVA Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics ranked 8th to 13th over the last 8 years. UVA has an excellent environment to conduct research!
Charlottesville is a town two-hour drive from Washington DC and one-hour from Richmond. It is centrally located in the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the former home of three of America's founding fathers. Charlottesville is suffused with an appreciation of history and intellectual vigor. Charlottesville's rich cultural, natural, and artistic history is showcased in a selection of first-rate museums, galleries, wineries, shops, and parks dispersed throughout the area.
