Postdoctoral Position in Biophysical Chemistry
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Associate interested in studying
light-driven DNA repair in proteins using single molecule microscope and
ultrafast laser techniques. The position involves the construction of a two
photon microscope based around a Ti:sapphire laser system. Besides
experience with ultrafast lasers good communication and computer skills are
a must.
