<b>Research Fellow Position in Physical Biochemistry and
Biosensing<br><br>
<br>
</b>The Protein Biophysics Section of the Laboratory of Bioengineering
and Physical Sciences, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and
Bioengineering (NIBIB) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), part
of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is recruiting a
Research Fellow in the field of biophysics of proteins at interfaces.
<br><br>
The purpose of a Research Fellowship is to provide junior-level
scientists with doctoral degrees experience in biomedical research while
supporting the NIH's intramural research program. To be eligible for the
Research Fellowship, a candidate must have demonstrated outstanding
scholastic achievement and the ability to conduct successfully, with
minimal supervision, a pre-established program in laboratory
research.<br><br>
The research activity primarily involves the development of biosensor
technology and the collaborative application of biosensors for the study
of protein interactions. Applicants should be highly motivated and
have a Ph.D., at least 3-5 years of post-doctoral work experience, and
strong biophysical expertise, particularly in the fields of supported
bilayers, protein-surface interactions, protein biochemistry, and
mathematical modeling. The successful candidate will join a team of
investigators using different biophysical techniques including AUC, ITC,
DLS, FFF, SPR, and fluorescence spectroscopy for the study of
macromolecular assembly processes. <br><br>
The position will be located on the NIH main campus in Bethesda,
Maryland, and is subject to the 5-year/8-year limitation at the NIH. The
position is available to foreign nationals, but thorough proficiency in
the English language in reading and writing is required. Entry level
salaries are in the range of USD 42,897 - 79,127 for Research
Fellows. Applicants should submit a cover letter, summary of their
past work, curriculum vitae including bibliography, and names and
addresses of three references to: Dr. Peter Schuck, Chief of the Protein
Biophysics Section, LBPS, NIBIB (pschuck@helix.nih.gov). <br><br>

Proud to be Equal Opportunity Employers<br><br>
THE NIH IS DEDICATED TO BUILDING A DIVERSE COMMUNITY IN ITS TRAINING AND
EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS<br><br>
