Postdoctoral Researcher - Nature Inspired

A Postdoctoral Researcher position is immediately available in the Dave Moz Lab (Chemistry Department and BioInspired Institute at Syracuse University), to develop nature-inspired strategies for controlling the structure and mechanics of biopolymer condensates.

This NIH-funded project aims to use post-translational modifications to alter the interfacial and rheological properties of all aqueous emulsions derived from the liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in the experimental characterization of soft condensed matter as demonstrated by publications in the field.

Qualifications * A doctoral degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Polymer Materials Science, Polymer Engineering, or closely related field is required.

* Prior publication record in the characterization of structure and dynamics of soft condensed matter using rheological, scattering, and other techniques.

Job Specific Qualifications Familiarity with the production, isolation, and characterization of peptides/proteins is desired but not required.

Responsibilities * Pioneer research areas by intellectually engaging the group * Run experiments * Write proposals * Publish research results in peer-reviewed journals * Train undergraduate and graduate students and coordinate purchasing Physical Requirements Tools/Equipment Application Instructions In addition to completing an online application, please attach a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and a list of references.
