Postdoctoral Scholar, Biophysics and Fluorescence Expansion Microscopy, Department of Physics

Job description

Description The Department of Physics at Case Western Reserve University, College of Arts and Sciences, seeks one postdoctoral researcher to conduct research in the laboratory of Professor Lydia Kisley starting January 2023 or later. The ideal candidate will work at the interface of biophysics, biomaterials, and analytical chemistry developing a method to detect nutrients at subcellular resolutions. Overall, the Kisley Lab studies soft materials using single molecule microscopy with the goal to advance the single molecule materials field toward more complex, realistic conditions. More information on the broad focus of the lab can be found at http://physics.case.edu/faculty/lydia-kisley/ . The candidate will primarily be responsible for working on a project funded by a private foundation to develop a super-resolution microscopy method using novel soft hydrogel materials. It is required that the candidate will have extensive experience in eukaryotic cell culture and fluorescence microscopy. Further skills in image processing in ImageJ and MATLAB or other C-based programming languages are preferred. It is not required, but also ideal, if the candidate has experience in extracellular m...
