We are searching for a postdoctoral researcher to work at the interface of biology and physics, on a project using actin and DNA-origami technology to generate new biomimetic model systems for the study of self-organization of active materials. The position will be joint between the labs of Guillaume Duclos (Physics Department; duclos-lab.org) and Bruce Goode (Biology Department; goodelab.org) and is part of the NSF-funded Brandeis MRSEC bioinspired soft materials program (brandeis.edu/mrsec).

We are looking for competitive applicants with a PhD in Biophysics, Soft matter or Biochemistry. Preference will be given to researchers with strong skills in protein biochemistry, quantitative fluorescence microscopy, and/or DNA-origami.

The applicant will work with state-of-the art microscopes, and receive training in a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative environment. This will include opportunities for quantitative modeling in collaboration with theory groups.

To apply, please send a CV, a brief summary of your research accomplishments, and a brief statement of your research interests to gduclos@brandeis.edu and goode@brandeis.edu.

Brandeis University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community and strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.
