Single-Cell Molecular/Microfluidics Biology Post-Docs : Pasadena, CA, United States

Applications are invited for two Postdoctoral positions in the Ismagilov group at the California Institute of Technology. Appointees will work on an NIH funded collaborative project between the Ismagilov and Guttman labs to study the 3-dimensional structure of nuclei in single cells across time using a combination of microfluidic technologies and molecular biology techniques. PD #1 – MOLECULAR will develop methods to comprehensively map DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, and RNA-RNA interactions within the nucleus, as well as help implement those methods in microfluidic devices for the study of single cells. Required skills for PD #1 include: molecular biology and biochemistry and familiarity with sequencing and bioinformatics. PD #2 – MICROFLUIDICS will develop and refine microfluidic devices for performing multi-step biochemical protocols on individual cells and nuclei in order to comprehensively map DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, and RNA-RNA interactions within the nucleus. Required skills for PD #2 include: strong background in fundamentals of microfluidics, with experience in biochemistry and molecular and cell biology in microfluidic devices. All applicants must have demonstrated a published record of creativity, depth, and accomplishment. Experience with single-cell methodologies and associated challenges is considered a plus. Candidates should send to ismagilov.postdoc@caltech.edu a CV and a brief statement of research interests.
