[交流] 美国NIH博后招聘(单分子生物动态追踪)

Postdoctoral Fellow Position
Laboratory of Chemical Physics
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
National Institutes of Health
Department of Health and Human Services
Bethesda, Maryland, USA

Multiple postdoctoral positions are available in the lab of Dr. Quan Wang at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda MD. Start date will be flexible and can be as early as Sept. 2021.

Research in Quan Wang\'s lab develops new techniques to visualize a diverse array of biological processes at the level of individual molecules in solution. We use rapid feedback control to hold single biomolecule still in aqueous solution (i.e. the ABEL trap) and study biochemical dynamics unlimited by diffusion. Scientific interests include structural heterogeneity of biomolecules, assembly/disassembly of multi-subunit enzymes and post-translational modifications. By pushing the limits of current single-molecule modalities (Nat. Methods, 2021, https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-021-01173-9) and expanding the dimensionality of measurements (Nat. Methods, 2014, https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.2882; bioRxiv 2021, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.25.444860v1), we provide detailed observations of biomolecule actions and interactions in real-time, one molecule at a time. We conduct quantitative physical modeling and simulations to understand these rich datasets with the goal of revealing biophysical principles that underpin biological function. Specific projects will be decided based on the candidate\'s background and scientific interests.

Candidates with a wide range of expertise in physical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, engineering, will be considered. Priority will be given to candidates with either a solid background in building instrumentation (e.g. advanced microscopy, laser spectroscopy) or in molecular biology (e.g. protein expression, bioconjugation). Candidates must be proficient in at least one of the following programming languages: Matlab/C/Python and hold a Ph.D. (or equivalent) with less than five years of postdoctoral experience.

Interested applicants should send a CV, a statement of research interest (in particular, why you are interested in the research and how your background might provide a good fit) and the contact information for three people who can provide letters of reference to:

Dr. Quan Wang
Stadtman Tenure-Track Investigator
Acting Chief, Section of Nanoscale Single-Molecule Dynamics
Laboratory of Chemical Physics, NIDDK
Email: quan.wang@nih.gov or quanw@princeton.edu (for applications/inquiries before Sept. 1st, 2021)
