发帖数: 464 | 1 Several postdoc positions are available in Dr. Huiwang Ai’s lab at UC
Riverside http://ailab.ucr.edu. The expertise of our lab is on protein engineering and fluorescent redox probes. Recently, our lab has explored new areas, including the biology and toxicology of oxidative stress, imaging of brain activities, and bioluminescence. We are looking for postdoctoral fellows with the following expertise:
1. Molecular biology, with previous experiences in sophisticated molecular
cloning, gene library construction, and/or protein engineering. Persons with
experiences in phage display, yeast surface display, fluorescent proteins,
or directed enzyme/antibody evolution, are preferred. We have ongoing
projects in a very broad area, from the development of novel fluorescent and
bioluminescent probes to the engineering of protein-based GPCR agonists and
antagonists.
2. Neurobiology. The most common types of communication in the brain are
chemical. Our lab aims to address the technical need for genetically encoded
fluorescent biosensors to monitor specific chemical signaling in living
cells and organisms. We hope to hire a postdoc fellow with strong expertise
in neurobiology, such as neurotransmission, neuromodulation, and GPCR-based
signaling.
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 [email protected]/* */
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 (~$45k depending on your experience
and full benefits- you only pay ~$8 a month for health care).
We thank all applicants; however, only selected individuals will be
contacted.
UCR, established in 1954, is one of the ten general campuses in the
prestigious UC system. The 2015 Annual Academic Rankings of World
Universities (Shanghai Jiao Tong) ranked the UCR Chemistry department 41st
worldwide (25th in the U.S.) based on academic performance. The Nature Index
, which is published by the Nature Publishing Group, ranks UCR Chemistry
30th in North America based on high-quality scientific publications. UCR has
an excellent environment to conduct research!
Riverside is a southern California city about 40 miles east of Los Angeles
and 75 miles north of San Diego. The small-city feel and proximity to the
large metropolitan areas allow you to experience the best of both
environments. Like the rest of Southern California, the climate is generally
mild and sunny, and Riverside was recently named on of America's top ten
Most Livable Communities. The Pacific Ocean is located about 1 hour west of
campus, while the San Bernardino Mountains and ski areas are located about 1
hour east. UCR's location is ideal in the sense that you can take advantage
of a large variety of recreational activities near campus. Southern
California is a vibrant metropolitan area with many industrial jobs (e.g.
biotech jobs), which should benefit your long-term career! |
