The Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics (MPBP) at the
University of Virginia (UVA) invites applications for postdoc positions in
the Laboratory of Dr. Hui-wang Ai https://med.virginia.edu/ai-lab/.
The lab uses interdisciplinary approaches in chemical biology, molecular
engineering, and fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging to study and
manipulate complex biological systems, with a focus on developing novel
molecular indicators to peer into cells and organisms to understand
mechanisms.
The Chemical Biology candidate is expected to have synthetic chemistry
expertise and can perform multistep organic synthesis independently.
Meanwhile, the candidate should be interested in expanding his/her expertise
in protein engineering and imaging. The research associate will design and
synthesize new luciferase substrates, develop bioluminescent indicators, and
work as part of a team of scientists to apply the new tools for cell and in
vivo animal imaging.
The Molecular and Cell Biology research associate will perform protein
engineering and characterization of genetically encoded biosensors. The work
will involve directed evolution and fluorescence/bioluminescence assays and
imaging.
The Biology (animal work) research associate will work as part of a team of
scientists to apply genetically encoded indicators to studying the role of
oxidative stress in diabetes, neurotransmission, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Previous experience in handling mice or using mice as a model organism is
required. Also, the candidate should be interested in expanding his/her
expertise in the following: primary tissue preparation and culture,
stereotactic injection, fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging of cell and
tissue cultures and genetically engineered mice.
The incumbents will participate in a diversity of relevant lab projects and
in writing reports for the study sponsors, papers, and grant applications
and are expected to develop research programs as time permits. The
incumbents will also be expected to attend and participate in laboratory
meetings and seminars, as well as work collaboratively with graduate
students, undergraduate students, technicians, fellows, and collaborators.
Postdoctoral employment is temporary and is normally limited to an
individual who has been awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate within the
previous five years and who will be involved in full-time research or
scholarship at the University. Employment as a Postdoctoral Research
Associate is viewed as training and is preparatory for a full-time academic
or research career, is supervised by a senior scholar, and allows the
appointee to publish the results of his/her research or scholarship during
the training period. Experienced and achieved candidates may be considered
for appointment as “Research Scientists”.
UVA, established by the American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson in 1819,
is considered one of the best public universities in the U.S. The UVA School
of Medicine has consistently been ranked among the top 30 for research by
US News. When comparing the NIH funding of physiology departments in the U.S
., the UVA MPBP ranked 8th to 13th over the past 10 years.
