| A postdoctoral associate position is available in Professor Jin He's laboratory in Department of Physics, and Biomolecular Science Institute, at Florida International University (FIU). FIU is a fast-growing R1 public research university in Miami. Professor He’s lab is developing multifunctional single molecule and single cell biophysical tools and methods to study cell biology. We are seeking a motivated and creative applicant to join a new project focusing on understanding the role of mechanical and electrical cues in cardiac tissue engineering using cutting-edge techniques. A PhD in (bio)physics, (bio)chemistry, cell biology or related science is required. The ideal candidate should have strong experimental and analytical skills, with background in one or more of the following fields: scanning probe microscope, patch-clamp techniques, advanced fluorescence microscope techniques, SERS, novel single molecule and single cell biophysics techniques, optogenetics, bioelectricity, stem cell and cardiac muscle cells/tissue.
Successful applicants will be a member of a high-quality research team with a strong collaborative research environment in a NSF sponsored ERC center. FIU also provides strong support and career trainings for postdoctoral researchers.
Applicants should email a cover letter explaining relevant work experience and interests, a CV, and the contact information of three references to Professor Jin He: jinhe@fiu.edu with subject title “application for a postdoc position”.
