Postdoctoral Fellow
Postdoctoral Associate Full-time
The Nolen laboratory at the University of Oregon (https://blogs.uoregon.edu/nolenlab/) seeks a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our lab full time on a flexible start date. Our interest is in understanding the molecular basis for the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton. We apply a broad range of techniques to understand the structure-function relationships of actin regulatory proteins and how their molecular mechanisms dictate cellular function.
Approaches used include (but are not limited to) single molecule TIRF microscopy and ensemble biochemical methods, x-ray crystallography, yeast genetics and live cell imaging, structure-function analyses, protein engineering, mathematical modeling and biochemical reconstitution of actin assembly.
Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, biophysics, structural or cellular biology or a related field, a published record of accomplishment, and good written and oral communication skills.
Eugene, Oregon is an ideal place to work and live, and is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.
