标题: [徵才]UC Riverside postdoc (Chemical Biology) 时间: Sat Jul 16 13:23:12 2016 Several postdoc positions are available in Dr. Huiwang Ai’s lab at UC Riverside (http://ailab.ucr.edu). The expertise of our lab is on protein engineering and fluorescent redox probes. Recently, our lab has explored new areas, including the biology and toxicology of oxidative stress, imaging of brain activities, and bioluminescence. We are looking for postdoctoral fellows with the following expertise: 1. Molecular biology, with previous experiences in sophisticated molecular cloning, gene library construction, and/or protein engineering. Persons with experiences in phage display, yeast surface display, fluorescent proteins, or directed enzyme/antibody evolution, are preferred. We have ongoing projects in a very broad area, from the development of novel fluorescent and bioluminescent probes to the engineering of protein-based GPCR agonists and antagonists. 2. Neurobiology. The most common types of communication in the brain are chemical. Our lab aims to address the technical need for genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors to monitor specific chemical signaling in living cells and organisms. We hope to hire a postdoc fellow with strong expertise in neurobiology, such as neurotransmission, neuromodulation, and GPCR-based signaling. 3. Animal imaging. The translation of our fluorescent and bioluminescent probes into the live, behaving rodent is of utmost importance to us. We hope to hire a postdoc fellow with strong expertise in live animal imaging, such as imaging of brain activities in live mice. The to-be-hired researchers are expected to be self-motivated.
