Postdoctoral Researcher in Biophysics and Single Molecule Microscopy

University of Pennsylvania, Department of Physiology

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Investigator to work on kinetochore-microtubule interactions using reconstituted systems in vitro (https://www.med.upenn.edu/grishchuklab/). The applicant will have opportunities to work with state-of-the art microscopy instruments and receive training in a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative environment. The intellectual environment at the University of Pennsylvania is outstanding for biophysical and cell biological work on cytoskeletal motors and mitosis. Preference will be given to researchers with strong skills in quantitative fluorescence microscopy and protein biochemistry. Competitive applicants should have a strong publication record. This full-time position is renewed annually with an expected three-year duration. We seek candidates who embrace and reflect diversity in the broadest sense.

Please submit a single PDF with your CV, a research statement describing your scientific accomplishments, research interests, one to three key first author publications, and the names of three references. Email one document to gekate@pennmedicine.upenn.edu
