Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoctoral Associate Full-time
A postdoc position in biochemistry / biophysics / live cell fluorescence microscopy in the Braselmann lab in the Chemistry Department at Georgetown University is available immediately.
In the Braselmann lab, we use a multidisciplinary approach (biochemistry, biophysics, single cell / single molecule fluorescence microscopy, mass spectrometry, molecular biology, microbiology) to investigate proteins and RNAs in live cells. We aim to assess how protein and RNA subcellular localization patterns change in response to perturbation. Our model system of choice is infection of mammalian cells with the intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes.
The fully NIH-funded postdoc position is available immediately.
Requirements:
We want to recruit creative investigators with a PhD or equivalent and a background in biochemistry and/or biophysics and/or fluorescence microscopy. A strong background in fluorescence image analysis is not required but desirable.
