SINGLE MOLECULE FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY
A three year postdoctoral position is available immediately at the
University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry under the supervision of
Dr David Klenerman and Dr Shankar Balasubramanain. The project is to
perform single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy on cryofixated
biomolecules ( rapidly frozen in water) in order to determine the relative
stability of different conformations by studying individual molecules
labelled with suitable fluorophors. The apparatus for cryofixation, the
cold stage for the microscope and the single molecule fluorescence
microscope have all been built. We are looking for someone with a
background in laser spectroscopy and optics. No knowledge of molecular
biology is required but an interest to learn about this subject would be
useful. We are seeking to recruit some-one as soon as possible. To apply
please send a CV and the name of two referees to:
Dr David Klenerman
Department of Chemistry
Lensfield Road
Cambridge CB2 1 EW
