Job Description:

Position Summary Postdocs in organic and physical organic chemistry, to study and develop novel environment-sensing dyes and protein-dye conjugates, including structures for single molecule imaging in vivo, and for multiplexed biosensor/optogenetic imaging (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 141(18): 7275, 2019. PMC6572722). Projects here will focus on the GTPase cycle and on exocysts. We offer an opportunity for chemists to learn protein engineering and microscopy, and to apply their own new probes to answer cell biology questions. This project involves novel approaches for specific derivatization of proteins within live cells. Required Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Experience with developing novel environment-sensing dyes and protein-dye conjugates, including structures for single molecule imaging in vivo, and for multiplexed biosensor/optogenetic imaging. Preferred Qualifications, Competencies, And Experience Experience with GTPase cycle and on exocysts. Protein engineering and microscope experience.
