Job Description
Postdoctoral position
To develop new variants of luciferase for biomedical imaging project
Description: A position is available in the Louie Lab in Biomedical Engineering (http://www.bme.ucdavis.edu/louie/) for applicants with strong molecular biology and protein engineering experience. The successful candidate will use methods such as site directed and directed evolution to engineer new variants of luciferase for a novel project in imaging funded by the Keck Foundation. This is an excellent opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team with chemists and engineers, in collaboration with international partners. Initial appointment is for Ｏne year with potential for extension upon mutual agreement.
Qualifications: The postdoctoral candidate should have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or related fields. The candidate must have hands-on experience with the following techniques: PCR, DNA cloning, protein expression/purification/characterization, mammalian and bacterial cell culture and handling, transfection of mammalian cells, and microscopy. The candidate should have deep understanding of enzyme kinetics and protein chemistry. Some experience in protein engineering would also be a plus. The candidate should be self-motivated and be able to work independently with minimal supervision, but also be capable of working collaboratively with other researchers in various disciplines. Position available to start as early as August.
About UC Davis: The Department of Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis has 32 faculty, and is a vibrant and multidisciplinary community of more than 120 researchers. The Department is internationally renowned for its research in biomedical imaging, enjoys strong institutional support, and is ranked #6 in the nation, and #1 in California, based Ｏn research expenditures by the National Science Foundation.
