Postdoctoral fellow, Bioanalytical chemistry.  Candidates are sought for a project focused on ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensing using a novel nanostructured platform.  A number of subprojects are underway focused on the detection of cancer biomarkers, and the current aim is the detection of these analytes in clinical samples and the construction of a multiplexed chip.  Experience with electrochemistry, surface modification, biosensing, or nanofabrication is desired.

Postdoctoral fellow, Chemical Biology.  Candidates are sought for a project focused on engineering cell-permeable molecules with organellar specificity.   The current focus of this work is obtaining an understanding of how the chemical properties of peptide-based compounds promote specific organellar localization, and the eventual goal of this work is to control trafficking of pharmaceutically active compounds within the cell.  Experience with chemical synthesis/characterization and/or cell biology and/or gene expression profiling is desired.

Postdoctoral fellow, Bionanomaterials.  Candidates are sought for an AFOSR-funded project that will focus on carbon-nanotube separation technologies relying on biomolecular carriers.  Experience with chromotography, carbon nanotubes, and/or peptide and DNA synthesis is desired.
