USA - Northwestern University Postdoctoral Fellowship in Single Molecule Biophysics

A postdoctoral position in single molecule biophysics is available in the Messersmith group at Northwestern University. The overall goals of the research are to elucidate the molecular details of mussel adhesive protein adhesion (for example, see PNAS 2006, 103, 12999). We seek self-motivated individuals interested in a stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment where fundamental biophysics experiments inform the development of biologically inspired materials. For more information on the group please visit our website http://biomaterials.bme.northwestern.edu/index.asp.

Experience in designing, conducting and interpreting single molecule pulling experiments is required. Candidates with experience in AFM single molecule pulling experiments, cantilever tip modification, and peptide or polymer chemistry are especially encouraged to apply. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled.

One of the top-ranked universities in the country, Northwestern University, combines innovative teaching and pioneering research in a highly collaborative environment that transcends traditional academic boundaries. Northwestern provides students, faculty and staff with exceptional opportunities for intellectual, personal, and professional growth.

Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer. Members of historically underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

To apply, please send a CV, statement of research accomplishments and future interests, and the names of three referees to:

USA - Yale Child Study Center Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Electrophysiology

The Developmental Electrophysiology Laboratory at the Yale Child Study Center is hiring a full-time /post-graduate researcher. This position is for a minimum of two-years (with a possibility of additional years based on funding availability). They will join an active lifespan electrophysiology research laboratory that tests clinical and typically-developing populations ranging from infants to the elderly using 128 to 256-electrode event-related potential technology to study cognitive and socio-emotional development.

The person in this position will receive extensive training in high-density array ERP/EEG recording procedures and analysis techniques, a range of infant, child, and adult neuropsychological and cognitive tests, as well as a variety of statistical techniques already in use in the lab. The primary focus of this position is complex data analysis approaches to electrophysiological data. Thus, preferred skills for the applicant include a familiarity with MatLab as well as basic imaging processing approaches including BESA and Brain Voyager. Skills mastered through this position will be useful to those interested in pursuing advanced graduate studies.
